BANDUNG - Three inmates escaped from a jail in the West Java capital of Bandung today in the second jailbreak in Indonesia in two days. State news agency Antara said the three prisoners at Sukamiskin penitentiary broke out of Cell No.60 and climbed over a wall to freedom. The fugitives were identified as Ida Bagus Bima Purwoko alias Agus (36), Fauzi alias Ghani (32), and Romly Angkasa (26). The report did not state what they had been serving time for.
On Saturday, five inmates escaped from Pontianak state penitentiary in West Kalimantan province, even though prison officials allegedly had prior knowledge of the escape plan. It was the second jailbreak at the penitentiary in the past four months. The first escape also involved five inmates. Antara said the prisoners had on Saturday used a file to saw through the bars of a window in their cell. They then climbed onto an empty guard post next to an outer wall and climbed down using three sarongs tied together.
The five inmates were Achmad Jaiz (24), who was serving one year for robbery; Zamroni (25), serving two years and 10 months for theft; Safarudin, serving 20 years for murder; Ardiansyah, serving 18 years for murder; and Andi M. Yusuf, serving two years minor assault. One prison guard said other prisoners on Friday had told him of the five men’s plan to escape. He said he passed the information on to other guards but the men still managed to break out.
Prison escapes are common in Indonesia, often involving the complicity of corrupt guards. In the most infamous incident, ethnic Chinese tycoon Eddy Tanzil – who was jailed for corruption in 1994 over a $650 million loan from state bank Bapindo – walked out of East Jakarta’s Cipinang penitentiary in 1995 after bribing wardens. He is still at-large and apparently now lives in China.
