Example:

Equipping residential rooms with refrigeration equipment, fans, televisions and/or electronic devices is prohibited for inmates. In Article 5 letter B of Law no. 12 of 1995 which says "equality of treatment and service"10 it is very clear that an inmate has the same rights and obligations, no distinction from each other. This is carried out based on equal treatment and service in the correctional development system, namely the provision of equal treatment and service to Correctional Residents without discriminating against people. While in Article 28 paragraph (3) government Regulation No. 32/1999 on the Terms and Procedures for the Implementation of Correctional Residents, stating that Inmates and Correctional Students are prohibited from bringing television and radio or other electronic media into prison for personal gain.[1]

Violations committed by inmates have luxurious room facilities also contrary to Article 4 of the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia No. 6 of 2013 on the Code of Conduct of Correctional Institutions and State Prisons in letter I which says each inmate is prohibited from equipping residential rooms with refrigeration devices, fans, televisions, and/or other electronic devices, and in the letter J possesses, carries and/or uses electronic devices, such as laptops or computers, cameras, recording devices, mobile phones, and the like.[2]

The poor prison conditions in Indonesia are well below the UN minimum standard rules for the treatment of inmates or known as the Nelson Mandela Rule. This Mandela rule requires the availability of basic needs and services in accordance with national standards. The standard stipulated by the Ministry of Health for calorie intake per person is between 2,475-2,725 kilos of calories, but prisons in Indonesia are only able to provide 1,559 to 2,030 kilos of calories due to a low budget. The grocery budget for inmates in Indonesia is USD $ 1.5 per inmate per day or about Rp15,000 per inmate per day for health services, each inmate only gets a budget of USD $ 1.2 per year or about Rp1,000 per month. An inmate needs to share a cell with 6-7 others in a cell designed for 3 people only. They eat, sleep, and defecate there. If the inmates are without any financial support, life will be very heavy.[3]
