        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Cipinang Prison in Jakarta is strengthening its\ncommitment to eradicating the circulation of illegal mobile phones\n(handphones\/HP), narcotics, and fraudulent practices within the\ncorrectional environment. \u201cEven strict sanctions in the form of\ndishonourable dismissal (PTDH) will be imposed on employees proven to be\ninvolved in legal violations,\u201d said the Head of Cipinang Prison in\nJakarta, Wachid Wibowo, during the Clean Correctional Pledge from\nIllegal Handphones, Drugs, and Fraud event held in the Cipinang Prison\nhall, East Jakarta, on Friday. The event was attended by dozens of\nemployees and prison officers (wardens) as a means to reinforce\nintegrity and remind all ranks to maintain professionalism in carrying\nout their duties. According to Wachid, the activity is a follow-up to\ninstructions from the Directorate General of Corrections (Ditjen PAS)\nand the Minister of Immigration and Corrections regarding the\neradication of drug circulation and the use of illegal handphones in\nprisons and detention centres. \u201cThis is an order from Ditjen PAS\nfollowing the instructions of the Minister of Immigration and\nCorrections, Mr Agus Andriyanto. The activity is certainly to reaffirm\nthe attitude of strengthening commitment in upholding the dignity of\ncorrections. Prisons must not become places for storing and using\nillegal handphones with various methods,\u201d Wachid explained. According to\nhim, the programme to be clean from illegal handphones, drugs, and fraud\nis part of the broader steps in prison reform that the government is\ncurrently strengthening. All employees are urged to work according to\nregulations and increase vigilance against various potential violations.\nWachid emphasised that there is no room for compromise for anyone\ninvolved in the misuse of authority or criminal acts in the Cipinang\nPrison environment. All inmates are required to use the special\ntelecommunications kiosk facilities (wartelsus) that have been provided\nfor communication needs. \u201cThere must be no handphones or drugs in\nCipinang Prison, and there is no room for compromise for those involved\nin violations. All communication must use the provided wartelsus. If any\nemployee is found involved, legal processes must be enforced strictly\nwithout compromise,\u201d Wachid stated. To support the implementation of the\nprogramme, the prison is also enhancing supervision of officers who\ndirectly interact with inmates and visitors. Wachid assessed that\ncorrectional officers are the frontline in creating change in the prison\nenvironment. \u201cWe, as the prison head, employees, to the wardens, are the\nfirst fortress in implementing change,\u201d Wachid said. Efforts to\nsupervise at Cipinang Prison, Wachid continued, have actually been\nongoing since last year. His side succeeded in foiling at least four\ndrug smuggling cases with various methods, from storing crystal meth\nunder shoes to hiding it behind hair. This success even earned Cipinang\nPrison an award from the Narcotics Crime Directorate of National Police\nHeadquarters for efforts to eradicate drug circulation in the\ncorrectional environment. With the spirit of change, Wachid invited all\nranks of Cipinang Prison to continue maintaining integrity and working\nbetter to realise a clean prison institution free from illegal\npractices. \u201cLet us make this pledge a living action in our daily lives,\u201d\nWachid said.<\/p>",
