Police install CCTVs and fingerprint scanners in detention centers

The National Police have said they have upped security measures at their detention centers, including the one in Kelapa Dua, Depok, West Java, that high-profile graft suspect Gayus Tambunan unlawfully vacated several times after bribing his prison officers.
"We have installed CCTV [closed circuit television] cameras and fingerprint identification devices at the center," National Police Detectives Chief Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com on Wednesday.
"We guarantee that no one unauthorized will be able to enter the centers' premises now," Ito said.
Security at police detention centers became a hot issue when a bribery scandal implicated nine police officers for allegedly allowing detainee Gayus permission to leave his cell at least once a week.
Gayus was spotted by journalists watching an international tennis match in Nusa Dua, Bali.
Aside from giving special treatment to Gayus, Comr. Iwan Siswanto, the former head of the Kelapa Dua detention center admitted he had also unlawfully allowed other high profile inmates, including Comr. Gen. Susno Duaji and former Sr. Comr. Wiliardi Wizar, a convicted murder, to leave their cells.
