PELAKSANAAN HAK ANAK BINAAN PEMASYARAKATAN (Studi di Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak Kelas II Kendari)

Abstract

Correctional institutions are an integral part of the criminal justice system, aimed at protecting the rights of detainees, juveniles, and inmates while also enhancing their personality development and independence to prevent recidivism. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through interviews and literature review. The findings reveal that juvenile inmates have the right to education, humane treatment, healthcare services, freedom of worship, and the opportunity to reintegrate into society through rehabilitation programs. However, the implementation of these rights faces internal obstacles, including a shortage of officers with psychological backgrounds, and external challenges, such as inaccurate information provided by juveniles regarding their complaints. Improvement efforts are carried out through the involvement of the Correctional Observation Team to ensure that the rehabilitation process remains objective and accountable. This research recommends strengthening regulations governing the fulfillment of juvenile inmates’ rights and improving the quality of correctional officers to effectively and humanely support the social reintegration of juvenile inmates.
