Uncontrolled Jailhouse Drug Transactions
Correctional facilities in Indonesia are apparently unable to control the illicit activities of inmates under their watch. Inmates convicted of drug offenses seem to have no problem whatsoever in getting hold of the illegal substance. Some even act as dealers, carrying out transactions from inside their cells. The value of transactions continue to climb, reaching trillions of rupiah.
The Financial Transaction Analysis and Reporting Center (PPATK) Chief M. Yusuf, has found suspicious transactions out of prisons estimated at Rp3.6 trillion during the 2014-2015 period, made under different covers, involving money changers, travel agents and trading companies. M. Yusuf has reported this to Chief of National Narcotics Agency Comr. Gen. Budi Waseso, as he suspects that the transactions are linked to drugs. One of the persons behind the transactions is a drug dealer currently incarcerated in Cipinang prison, East Jakarta.
