The Urgency of Establishing Special Prisons for Narcotics Offenders: Rehabilitation Approach and Overcrowding Reduction
Downloads
This study examines the urgency of establishing special prisons for narcotics offenders in Indonesia, focusing on rehabilitation approaches and the reduction of overcrowding in general prisons. The increasing number of narcotics inmates, which exceeds 50% of the total prison population, has created serious challenges within the correctional system. The objective of this research is to explore the impact of establishing special prisons on the effectiveness of rehabilitation and the reduction of recidivism rates. The methodology employed in this study is qualitative analysis, including case studies of several prisons in Indonesia and interviews with inmates and correctional officers. The findings indicate that separating narcotics offenders from other lawbreakers can create a more conducive environment for rehabilitation, enhance the success of Therapeutic Community-based rehabilitation programs, and reduce the risk of drug trafficking within prisons. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the establishment of special prisons not only meets legal requirements but also serves as an effective solution to address drug abuse issues holistically while providing social support for former inmates during their reintegration into society.
