Indonesia to have crocodiles to stand guard over death row drug convicts


In what could be termed to be a first, Indonesia could introduce crocodiles to stand guard over death row drug convicts - that is what the head of Indonesia's anti-drugs agency has proposed. A prison island would be built to house death-row drug convicts and it would be guarded by crocodiles.
This has been reported in bbc.com dated 9 November 2015.
In the opinion of Budi Waseso, crocodiles often made better guards than humans - because they could not be bribed. He has embarked on a mission of visiting different parts of the Indonesian archipelago in order to locate the fiercest reptiles and relocate as many crocodiles as possible there.
Incidentally, Indonesia has some of the toughest drug laws in the world and has put an end to a four-year moratorium on executions in 2013.
His logic is simple - you can not bribe crocodiles, neither can you convince them to let the inmates escape.
Of course, the plan is still in the early stages, and neither the location nor the potential opening date of the jail have yet been decided.
