Among the various products on sale, there are several processed\npoultry products branded Chicken Jepun. The products are manufactured by\nJamaludin (49), an inmate at Lapas Sentul prison.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlhamdulillah, Chicken Jepun has been operating for one year. This\nis pure knowledge from Lapas Sentul. Lapas Sentul has imparted an\nextraordinary amount of knowledge, including the production of frozen\nfood,\u201d said Jamaludin when encountered during a car-free day on Sudirman\nStreet, Central Jakarta, on Sunday (24 May 2026).<\/p>\n
Jamaludin is known to be a former terrorism inmate who was involved\nin an attempted breach of Istana Merdeka (Independence Palace) in 2022.\nHe stated that he is grateful for his rehabilitation at Lapas Sentul,\nwhich ultimately enabled him to create the processed food product.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore going to prison, there was an incident involving Istana\nMerdeka. The Istana Merdeka incident eventually happened, although I\ndidn\u2019t initially expect such a case. But that is God\u2019s will. However, I\nam grateful that I ultimately discovered a product through the\nrehabilitation programme at Lapas Sentul,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Jamaludin explained that he was originally sentenced to four years.\nHowever, his sentence was reduced to two years and two months after\nbeing deemed to have exhibited good conduct.<\/p>\n
\u201cI entered prison in 2022, approaching the election period. I\nreceived a four-year sentence, but because of my good behaviour inside,\nI only served two years and two months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
From his processed food business, Jamaludin claimed to have supplied\nhis products to 50 restaurants and caf\u00e9s in the Jabodetabek region. He\nalso supplies his products to several central kitchens (SPPG).<\/p>\n
\u201cEventually, we entered several outlets. Alhamdulillah, we now have\n50 branches throughout Jabodetabek. And alhamdulillah, we have already\nentered central kitchens \u2014 approximately seven kitchens \u2014 and we will\nenter 10 more. Hopefully, approximately 17 in total will be in\noperation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Jamaludin explained that his surrounding community has responded\npositively to what he is doing. He noted that community leaders in his\nneighbourhood were initially unaware that he had been involved in a\nterrorism case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe community environment is entirely positive with me,\nalhamdulillah. Even all the community leaders came to my home when I\nreturned, because they couldn\u2019t believe I was involved in such a case,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n
Through his business venture, Jamaludin has created employment for 13\npeople. Moreover, he is planning to increase his workforce.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday there are 13 people. We have already opened job vacancies with\nroughly 20 applicants, and we are selecting approximately 10 more. Next\nmonth we will add 10 more employees due to our expansion,\u201d he added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/former-terrorism-inmate-at-sentul-prison-becomes-poultry-processing-entrepreneur-1780365619", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
