Greater Jakarta: Atut ordered to clean prison for a month

Ratu Atut Chosiyah - JP/Wendra Ajistyatama

Former Banten governor Ratu Atut Chosiyah, who is currently serving a seven year prison sentence for graft, has been ordered to clean the Tangerang Women'€™s Penitentiary in Banten for a month as a disciplinary punishment for keeping a cell phone, an official has said.

Prison head Murbihastuti said that the Tangerang Police raided the prison on Monday evening to comb for drugs among prisoners. Instead of finding drugs, they found numerous banned items, such as cell phones, knives and shavers.

 '€œAs a punishment, she has to help our staff clean the prison for a month,'€ Murbihastuti said on Tuesday as quoted by wartakotalive.com.

Thirty-five other prisoners also received disciplinary punishments.
