After being sentenced to 18 years in prison in December 2019 by the North Jakarta District Court for being proven as an intermediary in drug trafficking, Zul Zivilia continues to show his creativity. Inside the prison, Zul is entrusted with managing the arts, particularly music, where he spends most of his time in a special recording studio.

Zul even often holds music performances to entertain the inmates and officers. This activity not only supports his spirit but also gives him the opportunity to earn tips, which he then gives to his children. "He busks. So sometimes there are people who give him tips and he saves it. When I go there, the money from the tips is given to the kids," said Retno Paradinah.
