Tycoon jailed for corruption staying in a ‘posh’ cell with flat screen TV, maids and karaoke room

Artalyta Suryani, a businesswoman in Indonesia was convicted of corruption and was then sent to jail. There she was almost having the time of her life when she defied all odds to live in prison, way more luxurious than many could only dreamt of.

This was because, her jail cell came with the following, air-conditioning, a double bed, flat-screen TV, her own private bathroom, an adjoining karaoke room and the service of maids. Ironically, she was sentenced to 5 years of jail for bribery. Susilo Bambang, the president of Indonesia had set up a team to investigate such happenings at the Jakarta Pondok Bambu women’s penitentiary. According to Denny Indrayana, one of the members of the investigation team, "We found a number of wealthy inmates had been provided with exclusive facilities. They allegedly paid some corrupt individuals in the prison to get all they want. It shows the weakness of our judicial system."
