Visiting People in Jail

This is my first time in going to a prison. Surprisingly it happened in Berau.

Again, it happened accidentally. I didn’t plan to go there, I even didn’t know the person whom I visit.

It started when me and my coworkers went out for lunch. One of my coworkers dropped the news, about one villager whom they knew was involved in a fight.

My coworker planned to visit the villager and she had arranged all the documents needed to visit a person in jail. She asked us to drop her at the prison.

But when we dropped her at the prison, the prison guards offer us to come along although we didn’t have any documents needed. So there we were, 11 people came and visited the villager without paper.

We had to leave our cellphone at the entrance and we got stamped on our hand. The meeting point for visitors and prisoners are a hall with concrete seats. It was just like a waiting room in a hospital or something similar. Far from my imagination; or maybe I watched too much movies…
Too bad, taking picture is prohibited.
