Penguatan Kedudukan Pemasyarakatan dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Terpadu melalui Fungsi Pelayanan Tahanan

Abstract

Changes in the Correctional System in Indonesia are marked by the ratification of Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections. One of the things that are regulated is regarding the implementation of prison services as a correctional function. This arrangement is of course interesting to analyze because so far correctional facilities have only been synonymous with fostering convicts, which is the final stage in the criminal justice system. Services for detainees at the detention center are related to the ongoing criminal justice process, because juridically the responsibility for detention is still on the law enforcement agencies that carry out the detention. This paper aims to analyze the raltionship between the regulation of prison services and the integrated criminal justice system in Indonesia. The discussion and analysis of this research uses a normative juridical method with a legal and conceptual approach, especially regarding the Correctional System and the integrated criminal justice system. The results of the analisys show that there are clear arrangements regarding the implementation of prison services as a correctional function. This is a form of legal certainty and at the same time an affirmation of the existence of correctional facilities as a criminal justice subsystem. As part of the Integrated criminal justice system, correctional facilities do not only work in the final process of the criminal justice process through the function of development prisoners, but also during the work or the on going criminal justice process.
