Indonesia’s narcotics chief wants crocodiles to guard drug offenders

“I will search for the most ferocious type of crocodile”, Waseso has been quoted as saying.

National Narcotics Agency (BNN) chief Budi Waseso will soon travel to North Sumatra in search of crocodiles to help guard a proposed prison-island facility for drug offenders, The Jakarta Globe reported.

Budi Waseso, Indonesia’s drug chief, is dead-ass about this plan, in which inmates would be placed on an island and surrounded by, no shit, crocodiles.

The plan depends on the prisoners being unable to execute Roger Moore’s crocodile-running technique, which was showcased in the Bond movie “Live and Let Die”.

The head of the country’s anti-drug agency has suggested the crocodile plan “so when they try to escape they will be eaten”, Slamet explained. “You can’t bribe crocodiles”.

The program has just started, therefore neither the locations nor the possible opening date of the jail have been confirmed yet.

Indonesia’s drug traffickers face death by firing squad if convicted.

Even so, drugs are rife in Indonesian prisons, and wardens were sometimes caught facilitating drug transactions involving inmates. “You can’t convince them to let inmates escape”, he said. The move to build a “special prison for death row convicts” is aimed at ensuring that drug traffickers do not mingle with other prisoners.

The death penalty laws of Indonesia that apply to drug offenders have stirred up much controversy already, particularly in April of this year when seven foreign offenders received the death penalty for their crimes.

The agency is now in discussions with the justice ministry about the plan, he added.
