Cirebon accepts 20 prisoners

The Cirebon prison received 20 prisoners
on Friday, relocated from the Cipinang prison in Jakarta after a
violent clash there recently.

The prisoners left Jakarta on Wednesday under tight security
and arrived at their new home on Friday morning.

Sardi, a guard at the Cirebon jail, said the prisoners were
quarantined before being put into a special cell to avoid any
possible clash with other inmates.

"The prisoners were moved here because the Cipinang prison is
too overcrowded," he said.

He said that the facility would accept any prisoners, but
strict measures would be taken against anyone involved in brawls.
