5 penitentiaries to be relocated

TANGERANG: Tangerang municipality plans to move
five penitentiaries in the city out of town and use the 200
hectares or so of land currently occupied by the prisons for
public facilities.

"We had earlier talked over the move with minister Yusril Ihza
Mahendra but the later has been replaced by a new minister,"
Mayor Wahidin Halim told The Jakarta Post on Friday.

The five penitentiaries are the male children's prison and
female children's prison on Jl. Daan Mogot, the adults'
penitentiary on Jl. Veteran, and the youths' penitentiary and
women's penitentiary on Jl. TMP Taruna.

Wahidin, however, did not say when the penitentiaries would be
relocated. -- JP
