IMPLEMENTATION OF PROVIDING REMISSIONS FOR CORRUPTION CRIMINAL PRISONERS IN CLASS IIA COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS RANTAUPRAPAT;

Abstract

This research uses a descriptive analytical normative legal research method with a statutory approach.  On August 3 2022, Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections was passed to replace Law No. 12 of 1995 concerning Corrections. The implementation of granting remissions to convicts of criminal acts of corruption has undergone changes to the conditions, such as not being required to pay fines or compensation money to the state. Then the letter of cooperation with law enforcement officials to uncover crimes or criminal acts is also no longer required. Instead, correctional officers carry out assessments of the prisoner's progress and carry out risk assessments to find out the progress of the prisoner himself so that he can determine whether he is worthy or not worthy of remission. Based on the results of research conducted by the author, the implementation of granting remissions to convicts of criminal acts of corruption at the Class IIA Rantauprapat Penitentiary has gone well. This can be seen from the research results that there have been 06 (six) prisoners who have received remission with different remission amounts. Convicts who do not receive remission are because the convict concerned turns out to have the right to parole or conditional leave which is more profitable for him in view of the date of arrest or detention and the length of his sentence so that he does not receive remission again.
