Three injured in jail brawl<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (ANTARA): Three Cipinang prison inmates were injured
\nin a brawl between two rival groups on Wednesday, two days after
\npolice conducted an intensive cell-to-cell search for weapons and
\ndangerous objects inside the state penitentiary.<\/p>\n
The injured prisoners were being treated at Kramatjati Police
\nHospital, said Jatinegara Police chief commissioner Supardi.<\/p>\n
Faisal, one of the prisoners hospitalized, suffered head
\ninjuries, while the other two prisoners, Alfian and Yusuf, were
\ninjured in the shoulder and arm respectively.<\/p>\n
Supardi said the situation at the prison was under control but
\nthe police had to fire warning shots and tear gas to restore
\norder.<\/p>\n
He said the brawl proved that a number of prisoners still had
\naccess to sharp weapons in spite of the search of inmates' cells
\non Monday.<\/p>\n
\"It seems the search was not done thoroughly enough,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Monday's weapon search was conducted after two Jakarta Stock
\nExchange (JSX) bombing suspects escaped from the prison last
\nFriday, taking with them a pistol and two hand grenades. One of
\nthe two escapees was eventually recaptured and confessed to
\npolice that the firearms had been sent to them by an accomplice
\noutside the prison.<\/p>",
