Rich Indonesian prisoners pay for luxury
- 12 years ago
An investigation into Indonesia's prisons has found that some inmates live a life of luxury behind bars, with flat-screen televisions and king-sized beds.
A video shot by a local television station showed the lavish living quarters of a businesswoman who was sentenced to five years in prison for bribing a prosecutor with $600,000 for dropping a case against her.
In prison, Artalyta Suryani's had access to a private bathroom and an adjoining karaoke suite.
