- Abstract
The government’s policy of freeing prisoners in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic caused controversy in the community. Some parties expressed objections to concerns about rising crime, while others actually supported the efforts to prevent and spread Covid-19. The formulation of the problem in this study are: 1) How is the effectiveness of granting integration rights to prisoners in reducing overcapacity in correctional institutions? 2) What are the obstacles in giving integration rights in reducing overcapacity in correctional institutions? The author in this study uses a sociological juridical approach. Related to the effectiveness of providing integration in reducing overcapacity in correctional institutions is reaping the spotlight. That is because there are factors that the community considers that the government’s steps are not appropriate and thinks that prisoners are better placed in prison to undergo physical distancing under supervision than outside who are potentially exposed to the virus. Prisoner release policy is a temporary solution. The measure is considered insufficient to prevent the spread and transmission of Covid-19 in prison facilities because the main cause of transmission of disease in detention is government policy that still prioritizes prison sentences with law enforcement.
