  "account": "Allegations are growing for an investigation into luxurious prison cells at Cibinong Penitentiary in West Java, following the suspension of five prison officials after a raid by the Indonesian Ombudsman. The Ombudsman found at least 10 houses within the complex that were converted into apartment-style rooms with luxurious amenities, including air-conditioning, televisions, sofas, refrigerators, a gym, a golf simulator, and parking lots filled with luxury cars. Inmates are suspected of occupying these cells, though their identities remain undisclosed. Inmates allegedly paid Rp 160,000 (US$8.93) weekly to enjoy the privileges. The Ombudsman member Syafrida R. Rasahan has called for a thorough evaluation of all irregularities and violations at the facility.",
  "summary": "The Immigration and Corrections Ministry said the cluster was designated as an official residential complex for prison officials but might have been converted into luxurious cells.",
