Neta said prisoners should be placed in a detention center as Indonesian legal system was known for having a coaching system for them when having punishment. It means that all the prisoners should be coached without any exception, including Ahok. He reminded that the system did not recognize any discrimination.

“Those who have the system and facilities for the prisoners are only detention center. Prisons do not have coaching system and facilities for prisoners. Moreover in the Brimob prison which is very limited and quite narrow. Brimob prison only has four buildings in the form of houses,” said Neta.
