Indonesia has suspended five officials, including the warden, after authorities uncovered an apartment‑style compound for inmates at Cibinong prison.
The discovery revealed a complex of private‑style living quarters that were not part of the standard prison infrastructure. The facilities reportedly offered amenities and space far beyond what is normally available to detainees.
In response, the Indonesian Ministry of Justice announced the suspension of the five officials implicated in the arrangement. The warden was among those placed on leave pending further investigation.
Cibinong prison, located in West Java, is one of the country’s largest correctional facilities. The incident has raised concerns about the management of inmate accommodations and the potential misuse of public resources.
Officials said the suspension is part of a broader review of prison conditions and that an inquiry will determine whether any policies were breached or if further disciplinary action is required.
