Jakarta – Timber tycoon Mohammad "Bob" Hassan and Hutomo Mandala Putra, the son of former president Soeharto, received a one month cut in their jail terms as Idul Fitri from the state.

Bob, Soeharto's golfing buddy, and Tommy are among the 32,666 convicts throughout the country who received remissions in connection with the big Muslim holiday. Both men are currently serving time in the high security Nusa Kambangan island penitentiary off the southern coast of Central Java. Minister of Justice and Human Rights Yusril Ihza Mahendra announced the granting of remissions after the Idul Fitri prayers on Friday.

Bob is currently serving a six-year jail term for corruption. He was allowed to spend Idul Fitri with his family in Jakarta.

Tommy is serving a 15-year jail term for plotting the murder of a senior judge and for corruption. He spent Idul Fitri in the penitentiary island.

Both Tommy and Bob also saw their jail terms cut in August in connection with the nation's independence day.

The two men lead a comfort if not luxury lifestyle inside their cells, which are adjacent, according to recent visitors to the penitentiary.
