Prison + Luxury? That's a no-no.

Well the article on this incident is extremely long. Long story short? An indonesian woman in jail bribed the prison individuals into making her prison life into a 5-year long hotel stay. Her prison cell is probably 5 times nicer than my own room.... *no comment* Do you think this should go unallowed? Letting a woman stay in a 7-star hotel prison cell, enjoying premium food and private toilets, while others share cells, share toilets and live in a -3 star prison cell? In my opinion, this whole thing is just plain WRONG.

Firstly, why are people sent to prison? They are sent to repent for the crimes that they have commited and in the process if they still are really stubborn, a dirty prison cell is chucked in to add salt to the wound. Not my cup of tea i would say.However, when we look at this woman, it is like she is living in a free hotel with good services, and why is that so? Because she had money to bribe. I think that if you dare to do the crime, you should do the time for it too. But this woman treats it like it is nothing, even having a meeting room for herself. I find this absolutely ridiculous and should not be condoned. In my point of view, I think that she should have her sentence doubled and brought to a normal cell, where she will have to live in prison like everyone else does

However if we look at the root of the problem, who allowed all this to happen? The corrupt officers. I feel that if crime rate is to be lowered, we must make sure that the ones who are in charge of doing so are pure and not corrupted. If they were, would it not just make everything worst?
