Depok Detention Center Officer Fired for Smuggling Crystal Meth to Inmate!

The Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Affairs has dismissed an officer—identified by the initial "S"—from the Depok City Detention Center in West Java. The dismissal followed a viral incident involving a drug party held by inmates inside the facility, which allegedly implicated a staff member. This was announced by the Ministry's Inspector General, Rudi Setiawan, in South Jakarta on Friday (October 9, 2026). Rudi revealed that the dismissed officer was suspected of smuggling drugs into the detention center; the dismissal also revoked the officer's status as a civil servant (ASN). In addition to the dismissal, disciplinary sanctions were imposed on several other officers. #prisonprisonguardfired
