“…At the same time, the pandemic lockdowns forced community re-entry programs to reduce services. These challenges, moreover, emerged against a background of poor infection control in detention facilities and limited opportunities for incarcerated individuals to be heard on issues regarding their health (33)(34)(35).…”

BackgroundPeople incarcerated during the COVID-19 pandemic face higher vulnerability to infection due to structural and social factors in carceral settings. Additionally, due to the higher prevalence of chronic health conditions among carceral populations, they are also at risk for more severe COVID-19 disease. This study was designed to explore the experiences of people incarcerated in prisons and jails in Maryland during the height of the pandemic.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured phone interviews between January 2021 and April 2022 with ten individuals incarcerated in Maryland carceral facilities during the height of the U.S. COVID-19 pandemic and were subsequently released from prison or jail. We transcribed the interviews, coded them, and engaged in content analysis, an inductive analytical approach to developing themes and meaning from qualitative data.ResultsFour themes emerged from participants’ descriptions of their experiences: (1) distress from fear, vulnerability, and lack of knowledge about COVID-19 and how to protect themselves, (2) shortcomings of prison and jail administrators and other personnel through lack of transparency and arbitrary and punitive enforcement of COVID-19 protocols, (3) lack of access to programming and communication with others, and (4) absence of preparation for release and access to usual re-entry services.ConclusionParticipants responded that the prison and jails’ response during the COVID-19 pandemic was ill-prepared, inconsistent, and without appropriate measures to mitigate restrictions on liberty and prepare them for release. The lack of information sharing amplified their sense of fear and vulnerability unique to their incarceration status. Study findings have several institutional implications, such as requiring carceral facilities to establish public health preparedness procedures and making plans publicly available.

The handling of recidivism crimes is carried out in a series of systems called the criminal justice system, which is a means in society to tackle crime. The components of the criminal justice system in Indonesia are the police, prosecutors, courts and correctional institutions. Correctional institutions provide guidance so that convicts become human beings who are useful in the future. From this, researchers are interested in reviewing the Impact of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 Era on the Development of Prisoners in Indonesian Correctional Institutions. In this research, the authors used an ethnographic study system research approach with a descriptive approach. Ethnography is a social science research method. This research concludes that there are factors related to the lack of success in personality development and recidivism. The main focus of research is to develop a distribution system for the work of channeling prisoners' work through the industrial revolution 4.0.
