EFFECTIVENESS OF NARCOTICS CONVICT GUIDANCE AT CLASS IIA BEKASI PENITENTIARY IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF MODERN CORRECTIONAL SYSTEMS

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of drug inmate rehabilitation at the 
Bekasi Class IIA Penitentiary from the perspective of a modern correctional 
system, and to identify obstacles affecting its implementation. The approach 
used is empirical juridical by examining laws and regulations and field 
rehabilitation practices. The results of the study indicate that drug inmate 
rehabilitation has not been fully effective in realizing the goals of the modern 
correctional system, namely rehabilitation and social reintegration. This is 
caused by several factors, including limited professional and trained human 
resources, suboptimal facilities and infrastructure supporting rehabilitation, 
rehabilitation methods that are not based on individual prisoner needs, and the 
lack of integrated cooperation with related agencies on a sustainable basis. In 
addition, the still low participation of prisoners in the rehabilitation program is 
also a constraint. Therefore, it is necessary to update adaptive rehabilitation 
strategies, based on a rehabilitative approach, and strengthen synergy between 
institutions to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation in accordance with the 
principles of a modern correctional system.
