���� Business News: Foreign Inmate Transfer Proposal
Indonesia is considering transferring highly dangerous foreign inmates to El Salvador’s high-security prison, CECOT, as part of a potential bilateral cooperation agreement. President Prabowo Subianto announced this plan in Congress, drawing comparisons to the U.S., which has paid El Salvador to detain alleged Venezuelan gang members. Although President Subianto did not specify the details or clarify whether the initiative would apply beyond Salvadoran prisoners, the proposal suggests a tougher stance on security. CECOT, El Salvador’s infamous maximum-security prison, has faced international criticism from human rights groups due to its harsh conditions. In addition to evaluating foreign inmate transfers, Indonesia aims to secure development bank funding to address domestic prison overcrowding by constructing new facilities.
