The Directorate General of Corrections (Ditjenpas) has scheduled an ethics hearing for CS, the Head of the Enemawira Correctional Institution (kalapas), North Sulawesi, who is suspected of forcing inmates to eat non-halal meat.
"The code of ethics hearing for CS will be held today, December 2, 2025, at the Directorate General of Corrections by the Directorate General of Corrections' Internal Compliance Team," said Rika Aprianti, Head of the Correctional Cooperation Sub-Directorate at the Directorate General of Corrections, when confirmed in Jakarta on Tuesday.
He explained that CS had been examined by the North Sulawesi Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections on November 27, 2025. At the same time, CS was suspended from his position and the position of the head of Enemawira prison is currently held by an acting officer.
Then, on November 28, 2025, the Directorate General of Corrections issued a warrant for an examination and code of ethics hearing against CS.
According to Rika, the Directorate General of Corrections will impose sanctions in accordance with applicable regulations if the results of the examination and code of ethics hearing prove that the person concerned has committed a violation.
"We will continue to uphold discipline and integrity among officers and inmates. Services and guidance will be provided in accordance with standards for the implementation of correctional functions," he added.
Previously, member of Commission XIII of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Mafirion, criticized the actions of the Head of Enemawira Prison, North Tabukan District, Sangihe Islands Regency, CS, who allegedly forced inmates to eat dog meat.
According to him, this action constitutes a serious violation of human rights and religious freedom. Mafirion urged the Minister of Immigration and Corrections to dismiss the prison warden and prosecute him.
He reminded that the prohibition on discriminatory acts and blasphemy is stipulated in Articles 156, 156a, 335, and 351 of the Criminal Code. "The provisions in the Criminal Code explicitly state that acts of insulting or denigrating religion are punishable by a maximum sentence of five years," he said.
The prison warden's actions were also deemed a violation of Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. He stated that forcing someone to do something contrary to their beliefs is a violation of human dignity.
"We cannot allow a citizen to be treated like this. Even though he is an inmate, he still has human rights that must be protected. Just because he is an inmate doesn't mean the prison warden can commit arbitrary violations. We must not tolerate things like this," said Mafirion.
