Regulatory Framework and Implications of Sentence Remission for Inmates at Bangli State Detention Center

The granting of remission to inmates is a legal mandate designed as an incentive to encourage behavioral reform in accordance with the objectives of the correctional system. Remission represents the right of inmates to receive a reduction in their sentence contingent upon good conduct during the rehabilitation period. This right may be further enhanced if inmates engage in activities beneficial to the state, humanity, or support the operations of correctional institutions. The remission process initiates with a recommendation from the Head of the Correctional Institution to the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, based on inmate counseling evaluations. The final remission decision is issued by the Regional Office, relying on institutional reports. This study addresses the critical issue of remission implementation for inmates housed in detention centers, specifically the Bangli State Detention Center, which accommodates prisoners due to overcrowding in correctional facilities. Employing an empirical research methodology, this study analyzes the regulatory framework and practical implications of remission granting for inmates at Bangli Detention Center. The findings contribute to understanding how remission policies operate within detention settings and their impact on inmate rehabilitation and institutional management.
