Indonesia Suspends Five Cibinong Prison Officials After Ombudsman Finds Luxury Housing

The ministry is investigating alleged luxury inmate facilities and possible discipline breaches after questioning 52 inmates and 54 staff members.

  • During a surprise inspection on Wednesday, September 23, the Indonesian Ombudsman discovered a residential complex with luxury facilities for inmates behind the home of Cibinong Class IIA Correctional Facility Head Wisnu Hani Putranto.
  • Staff initially obstructed the team's access, but inspectors eventually identified around 13 residential units separate from detention cells, where they found several high-profile corruption convicts inside.
  • Following these findings, the Imipas Ministry suspended Wisnu and four other structural officials on Saturday, September 26, pending investigation into prison management.
  • "We have conducted inspections from yesterday until today, with a total of 52 inmates," Inspector General Commissioner General Rudi Setiawan said, with 54 staff interviews also scheduled.
  • The Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Affairs will impose sanctions based on Civil Servant Discipline regulations if investigators find that staff violated conduct codes.
