The Head of the Riau Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections said that both had been questioned at the Riau Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections. “We’ll see what the results are. Even if there is involvement of officers, we will still give measured sanctions to the officers involved in it.

And prisoners, of course if they are proven guilty we will isolate them and we will put them on the disgrace register, yes, so that the person concerned cannot get remission,” he said.

The case of the liquor party in the detention center had long consequences. The Riau Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections raided the Pekanbaru Detention Center residential block.

A total of 320 joint personnel from the Sialang Bungkuk Pekanbaru Detention Center, Pekanbaru Police, Pekanbaru Prison, and the Riau Regional Directorate General of Corrections combed the entire residential block of the Sialang Bungkuk Pekanbaru Detention Center.

The team confiscated electronic goods from inside the cells of inmates and prisoners, ranging from cellphones to other electronic goods. “There are 60 cellphones plus chargers, cables. There is also an iPad, yes. Hopefully this activity can continue to run smoothly, and we can also always work together with the police to conduct joint raids in carrying out checks.

Alhamdulillah, the inside is also clean, there are no more things or items that should not be in the detention center. And we support the detention center in carrying out checks,” he explained.

The liquor party incident at the Sialang Bungkuk Detention Center occurred on Monday, April 14, 2025. The viral video was recorded by a prisoner and uploaded to a prisoner chat group, then disseminated to social media. The smuggling of cellphones and a number of other electronic items often occurs and escapes the supervision of officers.
