Indonesia’s narcotics agency chief envisions drug prison-island surrounded by crocodiles

JAKARTA: -- National Narcotics Agency (BNN) chief Budi Waseso will soon travel to North Sumatra in search of crocodiles to help guard a proposed prison-island facility for drug offenders, The Jakarta Globe reported.

Waseso has been calling on the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights – which oversees prisons across the country – to build a special penitentiary for drug offenders, saying that it should be in a remote island to stop drug dealers from communicating with the outside world.

The distribution of drugs is rampant inside Indonesian prisons and there are frequent reports about drug dealers continuing to control their operations from behind bars.

The Justice Ministry has not yet given the green light to Waseso’s proposal but he has been busy working out outlandish details about his pet project.

“We will keep sending them food supplies everyday. But they have to survive on their own,” he said on Sunday, as quoted by Tempo.co news portal.

The island, he said, will be surrounded by crocodiles.

“We will place as many crocodiles as we can there. I will search for the most ferocious type of crocodile,” he said. “You can’t bribe crocodiles. You can’t convince them to let inmates escape,” he said.

Waseso said he would travel to Medan, North Sumatra, on Monday to visit a crocodile breeding centre.

so in order to stop them having organised crime syndicates behind bars they will send them to an island to survive on their own, with only the supervision of crocodiles. Brilliant! As Zaphod says "what could possibly go wrong' ! Clearly another man who has been promoted to the top via corruption instead of being selected for his ability to do a job. This guy could do wonders working alongside the Thai Minister of Science who tried to minimise Bangkok flooding by putting a thousand boats in the river to make the water flow out to sea faster blink.pngfacepalm.gif

Sounds like a pretty cool reality show concept to me...or a social experiment based on "Lord of the Flies".

"Escape from croc island"

I'd watch it.
