The relocation was carried out under strict protocols to strengthen security and improve supervision in high-risk correctional facilities.

“The transfer is crucial to maintaining regional security, especially in Nusakambangan, which serves as a holding center for high-risk inmates,” said Central Java Corrections Office Head Mardi Santoso said, as reported by antaranews.com.

The inmates departed Salemba Prison under escort by the Corrections’ Security and Intelligence personnel, Salemba Prison officers, and police forces. Upon arrival at Nusakambangan Island, the Safety and Order Task Force conducted administrative and identity checks before moving them into Karanganyar Prison.
