Indonesia is set to release about 30,000 prisoners early as the country seeks to avoid a possible surge in coronavirus infections in its overcrowded prisons.
A document issued by the law and human rights ministry, whcih was viewed by Reuters, notes that adult prisoners would be eligible for parole if they had served two-thirds of their sentences, while children would be eligible if they served half of their jail term.
Official data shows there are 270,386 prisoners across Indonesia, more than twice the official capacity of its jails. A war on drugs has led to a surge in the number of imprisoned people who are particularly vulnerable to the spread of diseases as many prisons lack proper sanitation.
Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous nation and president Joko Widodo on Tuesday declared a national public health emergency in a bid to contain the coronavirus outbreak. So far, the government has reported 1,414 infections and 122 deaths from the virus, but some officials and experts believe a lack of testing has masked the scale of the outbreak.
