History
[edit]In the past, Nusa Penida had the status of a colony of the Klungkung Kingdom. This island is seen as a potential exile area for people who are considered problematic from Klungkung, Gianyar and Bangli (Sedimen, 1984). Nusa Penida is considered to have advantages because it is far from mainland Bali, the sea currents are strong, and the sea waves are high, making it difficult for prisoners to escape. Another reason is the barren geographical condition of Nusa Penida and the relatively long dry season, adding to the stereotype that Nusa Penida was the center of black magic at that time, so it was suitable to be used as a prisoner colony. This factor is what made the Dutch East Indies government call it bandieten eiland ('criminal island').[3]
