CibinongInspectors found a golf simulator under construction inside an Indonesian prison.
Analysts say corrupt staff sell wealthier inmates drugs, outings and luxury goods in Indonesia’s overflowing prisons.
Inmates lived in at least 10 staff housing units outside the walls, and an unsecured back exit opened onto forest.
“This is the tip of the iceberg,” said Ombudsman member Syafrida Rachmawati Rasahan.
Five officials, including the warden, are suspended while investigators test whether inmates paid staff for the accommodations.
