Hamid visits Makassar prisons

MAKASSAR: Minister of Justice and Human Rights Hamid Awaluddin
paid unannounced visits to two penitentiaries in Makassar, South
Sulawesi, on Monday, and was furious to learn some inmates were
using narcotics in their cells.

When the minister visited the cells, he found material for
taking crystal methamphetamine. In other cells, he found knives,
electronic appliances and other prohibited items.

"We need to take action," Hamid told reporters. It was not
immediately clear whether the authorities in charge of the
penitentiaries would receive administrative sanctions.

The minister was accompanied by several senior local
administration officials and top provincial police officers
during the tours of the Makassar and Gunung Sari penitentiaries.
