Sbypresidenku.com – Dozens of Inmates Escape from Kutacane Aceh Prison Just Before Iftar
A shocking news comes from the Kutacane prison in Aceh, where dozens of inmates managed to escape just moments before iftar. The incident has caused a stir in the local community and the local authorities acted quickly to search for the escaped inmates. According to initial reports, this incident occurred due to alleged negligence of the officers and the prison’s overcapacity conditions.
According to circulating information, the escape happened very quickly. The inmates allegedly planned this escape carefully and took advantage of existing security gaps. Several eyewitnesses around the prison zona revealed that they saw inmates running away from the prison complex in various directions. “This incident was very sudden, and the officers looked surprised and overwhelmed in handling the situation,” said a resident who wished to remain anonymous. This condition certainly adds to the concerns of the surrounding community, especially because many of the escaped inmates still have serious sentences for the crimes committed.
Causes of Inmate Escape and Law Enforcement Steps
Based on initial investigations, one of the main factors causing the escape from the Kutacane prison is the limited number of supervising officers compared to the large number of inmates held. In addition, the prison’s overcapacity condition also adds to the risk factors. Several inmates who managed to escape took advantage of the officers’ moment of inattention during duty changes and the time just before iftar, when most of the attention was focused on iftar preparations.
The police and prison authorities quickly took action by forming a special team to hunt down the escaped inmates. Security forces conducted raids and searches in various locations suspected to be hiding places for the fugitives. “We will continue the search and ensure that the escaped inmates return to custody as soon as possible,” said a local police officer. In addition, the Aceh Regional Government is also coordinating with the families of the escaped inmates to persuade their relatives to voluntarily turn themselves in.
Until now, the community around the Kutacane prison is still plagued by anxiety due to the escape of these dozens of inmates. Many hope that security forces can quickly recapture the inmates and restore the situation to a more conducive state. This case also opens the government’s eyes to the urgency of improving security facilities and the number of officers in various prisons facing similar overcapacity issues. This incident serves as an important lesson for the authorities in maintaining security in the correctional environment to prevent similar incidents from recurring in the future.
