A total of 237 inmates at correctional facilities (lapas) and detention centres (rutan) in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) have been proposed to receive special holiday remission in 2026. Of this number, two inmates have been proposed to receive special remission for Nyepi Day.

The Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections (Ditjenpas) NTT submitted the proposal from a total of 3,094 inmates across all correctional facilities and detention centres in the NTT region.

The Head of the Regional Office of Ditjenpas NTT, Ketut Akbar Herry Achjar, explained that only inmates meeting the specified requirements have been proposed for sentence reduction through special holiday remission.

“Out of a total of 3,094 inmates, those meeting the requirements we propose to receive special holiday remission for Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr number 237,” Akbar said on Tuesday (10 March 2026).

“The proposal for special Nyepi Day remission is for two inmates. Meanwhile, for Eid al-Fitr holiday remission there are 235 inmates,” he explained.
