The Jakarta Provincial Health Office reported 96 positive Covid-19 cases in detention centers (rutan) and correctional facilities (lapas) as of September 30, 2020. The details are: 38 cases in Cipinang Detention Center, 30 cases in Pondok Bambu Detention Center, and 10 cases in Cipinang Penitentiary.
Cipinang Narcotics Penitentiary, Pondok Bambu Penitentiary, and Salemba Penitentiary each had five cases, while Salemba Detention Center had three cases. However, it is not specified whether these numbers include only inmates or also staff.
The Covid-19 transmission cluster in detention centers and correctional facilities needs to be watched carefully. The reason is that the total number of inmates exceeding prison capacity makes it difficult to optimally implement social distancing.
The government urges the public to implement the 3M movement: washing hands with soap, maintaining distance, and wearing masks, to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
