Yasonna found the root of the problem to be commonplace: the number of inmates exceeding the limited capacities of Indonesian prisons and the shortage of prison personnel. He admitted frankly that conditions in Indonesian prisons were unacceptable. "They're very inhumane," he said in a recent interview in his South Jakarta office last week.
