INDONESIAN DEATH ROW PRISONER HONOURED FOR WORK AGAINST DRUGS

Indonesian Justice and Human Rights Minister Andi Mattalatta presented an award to a death row inmate for speaking out against drugs inside the prison. "We honour the success in foiling the distribution of drugs inside the prisons," Mattalatta said. The inmate, identified as Waluyo, was sentenced to death in Lampung for murder. He was transferred to Tangerang penitentiary six months ago. "Prisoners on death row are usually frustrated because they have lost hope for life. I convinced Waluyo that he could do something good before he dies, and he proved it by catching some inmates using drugs in their cells," warden Wawan Hendrawan told The Jakarta Post.
