Implementation Of Prisoner Guidance Policy In Class I Prison, Pekanbaru

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of prisoner development in the correctional system in Indonesia. Which is based on several main problems faced by the Class I Pekanbaru State Detention Center (Rutan) in implementing the prisoner development policy. The prison as a temporary detention center has an important role in the legal process, but often has to carry out dual functions as a correctional institution due to the large excess capacity in the prison. This poses challenges in the implementation of prisoner development which should be the responsibility of the prison. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the prisoner development policy at the Class I Pekanbaru State Detention Center, using the George C. Edwards III policy implementation model. The focus of the research lies in the aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, as well as efforts made to overcome obstacles in policy implementation. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, using primary data through interviews and observations, and secondary data from related documents. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the development policy has been going well even though there are still indicators in Resources that have not been optimally met, which is due to the lack of security officers, the absence of a budget in developing independent development, and the lack of supporting facilities for the development process. To overcome these obstacles, Pekanbaru Class I Prison empowers prisoners who have skills in several areas of expertise, proposes additional officers, transfers prisoners to other correctional institutions, and strengthens the implementation of the Correctional Observation Team (TPP) hearings. This study contributes to the development of prisoner development strategies, with the hope of increasing the efficiency of policy implementation and supporting optimal social reintegration of prisoners.
