has been conducted in a wide range of countries including India (Reddy et al., 2012), China
(Lai et al., 2008), Jordan (Schwalbe et al., 2013), Azerbaijan (Cozac and Elliott, 2011), Taiwan
(Huang et al., 2011), Israel (Birger et al., 2011), Indonesia (Nelwan et al., 2010), Thailand
(Sherman et al., 2010), Myanmar (Brown, 2010), Malaysia (Choi et al., 2010), Pakistan (Altaf
et al., 2009), and Kyrgyzstan (Moller et al., 2008).
In Indonesia, only nine out of 421 prisons and detention centres have been specially designed
to accommodate women and children. A 2010 study found that even though only 6 per cent of
female prisoners had a history of injecting drug use 92 per cent of these women had been
arrested on a drug-related charge (Blogg et al., 2014).
Although the number of female prisoners is only about 5 per cent of the total number of prisoners
in Indonesia, the increased rate of incarceration of women is much higher than for men, whilst
the rate of release of female prisoners (i.e. those qualifying for parole) is lower than that of men
(Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, 2009).
A recent study in Indonesian prisons showed links between higher levels of HIV sero-positivity
and concomitant health problems in females compared to males. HIV prevalence was
1.1 per cent in males and 6 per cent in females. Among females the key factors associated with
HIV were testing positive for syphilis and a history of drug use. Of those with history of drug use,
12 per cent female and 6.7 per cent male tested positive for HIV (Blogg et al., 2014).
The qualitative research reported in this paper complements the HIV and Syphilis Prevalence
and Risk Behaviour Study Amongst Prisoners in Prisons and Detention Centres in Indonesia
(Blogg et al., 2014) as it explores broader health concerns and responses, including sexual and
reproductive health.
All the prisons included in this study had a health clinic that could be accessed by female
prisoners during set times. Free basic health care was found to be generally available, including
the provision of medicines and medical services. For those who could afford to buy medicines
outside of prison this could be obtained with help from their family. Only prisoners at Lapas
Kerobokan, Bali and Rutan Pondok Bambu, Jakarta have access to a dedicated methadone
programmes and access to staff trained in the treatment of drug dependency. However, female
prisoners at Lapas Anak Wanita, Tangerang are able to access methadone through doses
brought in from the methadone programme at the nearby Lapas Pemuda, although their staff
are not trained to dispense methadone.
All female prisoners are able to keep their babies/infants with them in prison until the child
reaches two years of age, but there are no special facilities for child rearing. Many prisons adopt
an informal system whereby each cell block has a leader or daily sentry to maintain order
amongst the block’s inmates.
The objective of this qualitative study was to explore the health needs and health-coping
strategies of female prisoners in six prisons and one detention centre in Indonesia in order to
make recommendations to improve the health status of female prisoners.
Methodology
This study was conducted in six prisons and one detention centre, which included those
designated specifically for the imprisonment of women (Lapas Wanita) and those that housed
both men and women: Lapas Wanita Bulu, Semarang; Lapas Anak Wanita, Tangerang; Lapas
Wanita Malang, East Java; Rutan Medaeng, East Java; Rutan Pondok Bambu, Jakarta; Lapas
Wanita, Bandung; and Lapas/Rutan Kerobokan, Bali. These six prisons and one detention
centre were chosen based on the criterion that they accommodated the highest populations of
female prisoners in Indonesia.
Participants in this study comprised female prisoners (n ¼ 69) who were chosen randomly based
on each prison’s list of registered prisoners. A convenience sample of clinical officers (six); clinic
heads (seven); wardens (seven), heads of prisons (seven); and a representative from the Director
General of Correctional Services were also selected to represent the range of views of prison
staff across the sector. The 69 female prisoners were interviewed in groups of eight to ten
j j

women. Each group had to include at least one participant who was pregnant or breastfeeding.
Of these 69 participants, 61 per cent were imprisoned for drug-related offences.
Data were collected from September to December 2009.
Qualitative data were collected through observation, focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-
depth interviews. A semi-structured questionnaire covering illness and health service access
was conducted during the FGD to complement other qualitative data. Furthermore, a literature
review was conducted on correctional law and justice related to the themes of the study.
The raw data were transcribed and analysed thematically, adopting the General Principles of
Grounded Theory (Neuman and Lawrence, 2003; Cresswell, 2003).
Ethics approval was received from Ministry of Justice and Human Rights Ethics Committee
(reference no. PAS.3HM.04.03.118). Independent oral voluntary informed consent was
obtained from all respondents.
Results
Prisoner characteristics
Of the 69 female prisoners who participated in this study from seven prisons, the majority were
serving sentences for drug offences (61 per cent). Other offenses included: fraud (7.2 per cent),
homicide (7.2 per cent) and robbery (7.2 per cent). Participants’ ages ranged from 31 to 40 years
old (53.7 per cent), followed by 21 to 30 years (26.9 per cent) and 41 to 50 years (16.4 per cent).
The majority of participants graduated from high school (44 per cent). Fewer participants had
only graduated from junior high school (17.6 per cent), elementary school (14.7 per cent) or had
not graduated from elementary school (11.8 per cent). A minority had graduated from college
(11.8 per cent). The majority of participants were married (53.7 per cent). Other participants were
divorced (22.4 per cent), single (9 per cent), widowed (7.5 per cent) and those in a casual
relationship (7.5 per cent). The majority of participants were housewives (39 per cent). About a
third worked in the private sector (30 per cent), with 10 per cent having worked as private
merchants. The remaining stated occupations that included writing, lecturing, farming or singing
at a karaoke centre. The largest group of participants had one child (30.4 per cent) with 20.1
per cent having two children, 14.5 per cent not having any children, 11.6 per cent had three
and 8 per cent had four children. Whilst in prison, most participants with children entrusted them
to the care of their parents (37.7 per cent), or husbands (15.3 per cent), siblings (8.7 per cent),
friends (2.9 per cent) or parents-in-law (2.9 per cent).
The highest reported expenditure while in prison was for toiletries (93 per cent);
washing equipment (74 per cent); sanitary napkins (68 per cent); medicine, including vitamins
(51 per cent) and cosmetics (48 per cent); and clothes (46 per cent).
Knowledge of HIV/AIDS and health problems. The majority of participants had heard about HIV
and AIDS (87 per cent). Most of these participants (78 per cent) knew that HIV is preventable and
knew specifically how to prevent HIV by: not having sexual intercourse with a person living
with HIV (PLWH) (55 per cent); avoiding sharing needle syringes (78.2 per cent); having sexual
intercourse only with one faithful spouse (76.8 per cent) and using condoms for
sexual intercourse with PLWH (74 per cent). The majority of participants knew that mosquito
bites are not a risk for transmitting HIV (55 per cent) and 43 per cent knew that using common
cutlery, bathing and using washing accessories do not present a risk for transmitting HIV.
The majority (58 per cent) had talked about HIV and AIDS, either with their friends during their
sentence (41 per cent) or with a prison health officer (23 per cent), NGO officer (18.8 per cent),
friends outside the prison (15.9 per cent), parents (13 per cent), prison officer (5.8 per cent) or
with a sibling (11.6 per cent).
All participants reported having a medical complaint whilst in prison. These included: headaches
(69.5 per cent), a sore back (40.6 per cent), cough or flu (34.7 per cent), problems with their
digestive tract (23 per cent) and pruritus or scabies (23 per cent). For illnesses of the
reproductive system, most said that they had excessive menstrual pain (33.3 per cent) or
irregular menstruation (27.5 per cent). Other issues were vaginal bleeding (4 per cent), itchiness

in the genital area (5.8 per cent), leucorrhoea (5.8 per cent) or complications of pregnancy
(2 per cent).
[y] to go to the clinic is not about getting well, it is just so that the illness will not become more severe.
Even though we go there repeatedly, we do not get well. But we don’t have any other choice [y]
(Female prisoner, Jakarta).
[y] where else can we go, there is no choice. I only go to the clinic if the illness is severe. If not, I still
prefer a traditional coin massage [y] (Female prisoner, Semarang).
[y] at the clinic everything is limited. I understand that they are busy and also that we are a burden to
the state but it is their responsibility. If they put us in here and then they neglect us, I think it’s better if
we are outside [y] (Female prisoner, Surabaya).
FGDs and interviews explored the referral and health support system. A system for referral to
health services outside of prison exists with prisons usually having established their own network
with a local hospital. For cancer, asthma or other common problems, referral is relatively easy
and well established. However, referral for illnesses related to HIV and AIDS is more complex.
Even though almost all prisons have a referral hospital designated to provide treatment with
antiretroviral therapy, this did not mean that referral to these services could be easily arranged.
For example, the women at Tangerang women’s prison reported difficulty in being referred to
Tangerang General Hospital. This was related to the need for prisons to give a guarantee
regarding payment for external health services. Consequently, the hospital was unwilling to treat
PLWH. Clinic staff commented on the need for a better system for dealing with each hospital
administration to facilitate this process, especially regarding the payment guarantee, the supply
of medicines and guarding of female prisoners while they were in the hospital.
According to the heads of prisons, the problem with hospital referral was not limited to the higher
cost of the treatment in hospital. Problems also arose due to additional costs for the meals,
transport and scheduling of guards, when a police officer had to be hired to guard a patient.
The problems associated with referral were exacerbated when the prisoner had no relatives to
contribute to treatment costs. Prison heads stated that there was no specific budget for health
treatment. Rather, there was a general budget to cover all prisoner-related expenses. As such,
allocation of funds to support referral depended upon each situation and the policy adopted
at each prison.
“Formal”: access to drug substitution therapy. A methadone service for drug-dependent opioid
users was established in some hospitals in 2004. At Kerobokan Prison, Bali, a referral system
operated if a prisoner had previously been a methadone patient outside of prison. These
j j
VOL. 10 NO. 4 2014 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PRISONER HEALTH PAGE 255
prisoners would automatically obtain routine treatment inside prison by producing a referral letter
from their regular clinic (i.e. community health centre or hospital). When a prisoner nears the end
of his or her sentence, the methadone officer prepares a referral for treatment to be continued
outside the prison. This model of providing prisoners with the same treatment they were
accessing in the community, does not apply in all cases. Prison officials reported endeavouring
to obtain additional resources, such as additional staff, medicines, reagents or laboratory
equipment from the local community health centre or hospital. Problems and obstacles can arise
because community health centres and prisons fall under different government departments and
are often located in different geographical areas. Even though insufficient coordination between
departments constrains the effort to obtain additional resources, prisoners qualify for support
under the national scheme which guarantees health services for the poor:
[y] we already tried to cooperate with the local health service to get additional medicines, but they
have difficulty accounting for medicine they give to prisons [y] (Doctor, Jakarta).
[y] it’s difficult to ask for additional resources (like doctors and nurses) from a community health
centre. They also have their own patients to look after every day, it could be hundreds, so I have to
treat them all by myself [y] (Doctor, Bandung).
[y] here, I didn’t really feel tired after delivering a baby. My friends helped me. Some help me to carry
the baby while I wash my clothes, change diapers, prepare milk [y] (Female prisoner, Surabaya).
[y] when I had a baby, everyone helped me, the prison officers, my friend in the block. I just sleep in
the room. If my baby cries because it’s hungry, then they give the baby to me [y] (Female prisoner,
Malang).
[y] ten days after the delivery, my friend helped me wash my clothes and the baby’s. Free. I just sleep
in my room [y] (Female prisoner, Malang).
“Informal”: health-seeking support networks. If a block member needed treatment, the health
official usually receives this request via another member of the cell block. This route of
communication was common across the prisons that were assessed. Block members often
facilitated the process of getting the patient to the clinic officer. In an emergency situation, usually
j j
PAGE 256 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PRISONER HEALTH VOL. 10 NO. 4 2014
one block member will tell the block guard who will get the clinical officer. If the clinic is open, the
clinical officer will come to the block, but if the clinic is closed, extra effort is needed to contact
the health officer if they live at the prison. This system of support is most evident when the prisoner
is pregnant or has recently delivered a baby, or if a baby or infant needs help:
[y] usually if someone has a serious illness we are the first to know, usually we call for the guards and
they make the arrangements with the clinic [y] (Female prisoner, Surabaya).
Prisoners willing and able to treat their sick friends constitute a strong form of social capital.
To support this, routine, agreed-upon contributions are collected by and from prisoners in most
cell blocks and used for the common benefit of the block including: paying for health services;
treating babies; or paying for child-birth delivery. These fees are also used to buy necessities
such as sanitary napkins, soap, sugar, tea and other common goods:
[y] this fee is used for people who get sick. Sometimes if there is a need to refer to hospital, we use
this money [y] (Female prisoner, Tangerang).
“Informal”: maintaining harmony and conflict management between prisoners. Disputes between
prisoners are common, usually over simple matters related to the tidiness of the block, such as
disposal of used sanitary napkins, untidy beds, glasses or plates left unwashed after use, or the
daily sentry (block member responsible for maintaining order) not doing her job. However, physical
violence is rare, which is probably related to the strong emotional bonds that were reported
between prisoners:
[y] I often say, “you live together here. Get on together, face your difficulties together, don’t fight.
Usually they follow this advice” [y] (Warden, Tangerang).
[y] often they fight but usually it’s just a quarrel, there are no fist fights [y] (Female prisoner,
Surabaya).
[y] we never fight here, it’s a quiet life [y] (Female prisoner, Malang).
A baby or a child in the prison can be a catalyst for creating harmony between female prisoners.
A baby is the responsibility of all members of the cell block which includes ensuring that the
baby has a decent living environment while in prison e.g. providing comfortable bedding,
ensuring there’s no smoking nearby, keeping those with transmissible diseases at a safe
distance. Prisoners reported taking turns to look after a baby while the mother washes clothes,
prepares milk or rests:
[y] if there is a baby or a child, we will be more tidy. If someone has a cough, we separate them from
the baby, our room is also cleaner [y] (Female prisoner, Tangerang).
“Informal”: social relationships between female prisoners and prison officials. Despite the
reluctance to be open with prison guards, prisoners had a different attitude towards health
officers. This relative openness was reportedly because prisoners considered health officers to
be more concerned with prisoners’ well-being:
[y] if we tell something to the guard, sometimes it can come back to us if something happens [y]
(Female prisoner, Surabaya).
[y] I feel closer to the women from the clinic, they care about our health and are more relaxed and not
so strict [y] (Female prisoner, Malang).
[y] they could talk to me more easily compared to the security staff, maybe because they feel it’s
safer here in the clinic and we do not deal with discipline [y] (Doctor, Jakarta).
[y] they are more relaxed with health officers, they can share their story with me even though I’m a
man [y] (Doctor, Bandung).
Relationships between prisoners and health officers can act as a bridge for creating personal
and social relationships between prisoners in a block. Depression, stress and other psychological
symptoms were reportedly reduced after consulting with health officers:
[y] it’s better to share with people from the clinic, they will not tell each other [y] (Female prisoner,
Surabaya).
j j
VOL. 10 NO. 4 2014 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PRISONER HEALTH PAGE 257
I give advice even though I don’t have a psychology background, but giving advice to others is a basic
skill. Usually they change and begin to accept their condition, but my time is usually limited because I
have other patients [y] (Doctor, Jakarta).
Even though prisoners reported good relations with health officers, most reported that they kept
certain confidences from them, did not communicate regularly with health officers, and that their
closest friend and confidante was another prisoner.
’ Lack of female-focused health facilities. Prisoners interviewed reported low quality services
which were usually unable to respond adequately to their basic health needs.
’ Staff and resources. The responses reported by clinical officers are backed up by
current data: as of February 2014 only 679 doctors and paramedics were allocated
to care for the 164,000 inmates. The budget to cover non-food services (which must
include health services) is o6 per cent of the total budget to run the prison system. However,
even this small budget is currently under pressure (Ministry of Justice and Human
Rights, 2014).
j j
PAGE 258 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PRISONER HEALTH VOL. 10 NO. 4 2014
Health service access is limited by prison budgets and dependent upon the goodwill of external
health providers. Addressing immediate health care and access to health services is urgent and
achievable. However, this is reliant upon the authorities desire to fulfil the obligations under the
health care system and also allocating appropriate funds. As an interim step to improving access
to services ongoing capacity building is needed for prison staff to develop their knowledge on
women prisoner’s health needs, including reproductive health and HIV prevention, treatment,
care and support. This focus on improving the education and knowledge of those responsible
for the care of women prisoners will improve the likelihood that those prisons that develop their
own health plans will meet the needs of the inmates.
Indonesian prisons reflect global trends as more women are being incarcerated. As the UNODC
(2008) report notes, globally female prisoners represent about 5 per cent of the total prison
population and this proportion is increasing, especially in countries with high levels of illicit drug
use. UNAIDS (2008) has concluded that, ultimately, alternatives to imprisonment should be
developed for women. This study supplements recent work conducted by Hinduan et al. (2013)
on the HIV-related knowledge and attitudes of Indonesian prison officers and the Nelwan et al.
(2010) study on the implications of HIV screening in Indonesian prisons, highlighting the
importance of multi-method research in this field.
Given the high proportion of women sentenced for drug possession, diversionary sentencing of
drug offenders can have the dual benefits of responding to the overcrowding of prisons with
people with drug problems and providing more access to effective treatment in the community.
The potential for drug diversion programmes is currently under consideration in Indonesia,
and, given the recent plans to release 27,000 inmates to reduce overcrowding (Perdani, 2013),
such a strategy in dealing with drug using offenders could be of wide ranging benefit.
