The wife of former National Police Internal Affairs Division head Ferdy Sambo is known to still be serving her sentence at the Class IIA Tangerang Penitentiary in Banten. Despite being behind bars, recent updates from Putri show that she continues to follow important moments in her family’s life, particularly the achievements of her son, Tribrata Putra Sambo. Public attention was drawn to a post offering congratulations on Tribrata Putra Sambo’s graduation from the Police Academy. The message was shared via Putri Candrawathi’s official Instagram account and represents one of the latest updates regarding her life while serving her sentence. In addition to following her family’s developments, Putri was previously known to be involved in various rehabilitation activities within the prison. She initiated entrepreneurship training for female inmates, ranging from bread making to training in preparing chicken noodle dumplings and meatball noodles as skills for life after release. In the recent post, Putri Candrawathi’s Instagram account conveyed congratulations to her son for completing his education at the Police Academy. ‘Congratulations on your graduation from the Police Academy, Mas Brata.

The photo caption mentioned that Tribrata’s siblings were always present to accompany every stage of his educational journey. ‘Although Mama and Papa could not be there in person, their prayers and love were never absent. Distance only separates the body, not the love that always accompanies their children’s every step.’ The post concluded with a message about the meaning of family, which continues to support each other under all circumstances. ‘Family is not only about being together, but about never leaving each other behind,’ it read.
