The prison super maximum security prison will have a total of 520 cells, he said here on Sunday.
Such a super maximum security prison will also be built in Cikeas, West Java, in 2019, he said.
The government still has no plan to build such a super maximum security prison in East Java but terror convicts in the province will be moved to the Nusakambangan prison once it is completed, he said.
Some 155 terror convicts were moved to the Nusakambangan Prison Island last month following two days of deadly riots at the National Police`s Mobile Brigade Headquarters in Depok, West Java.
The riot broke out at the headquarters after some terror convicts quarreled with the detention guards over a food package. In accordance with the police`s standard operating procedure, all food for the inmates should be checked and sterilized, as it must not contain forbidden materials.
However, the food-checking procedure led to a deadly riot after some terror convicts disarmed police officers and took them as hostages at the detention block inside the headquarters. Five police officers and a terror detainee were killed in the riot.
