Cipinang inmates granted remissions

JAKARTA: Inmates serving jail terms at Cipinang Penitentiary
in East Jakarta were granted sentence remissions on Friday on the
occasion of Idul Fitri. The total number of inmates to receive
remissions was 1,503.

Remissions varied, ranging from 15 days to one-and-a-half
months.

Sixty-eight inmates who received the remissions could also
take a breath of fresh air outside the jail bars since the
remissions cut their remaining term.

"Those remissions are given for good behavior," said head of
the penitentiary training division, Giharto.

The penitentiary houses a total of 3,758 inmates. --JP
