Abstract

Biological needs as basic human needs cause prisoners to fulfill informally and deviate to fulfill their biological rights. Illegal sex business practices are rife at the Penitentiary as a reaction to prisoners’ requests to be able to meet their natural needs. Indonesia as a rule of law has an obligation to guarantee the human rights of its citizens, including prisoners. So in this case, the biological rights of prisoners are part of human rights. The formulation of the problem in this study are: 1) How are the procedures for fulfilling biological needs for prisoners in prison? 2) What is the legal policy in the context of fulfilling the right to biological needs for prisoners. This research method is carried out through a normative juridical approach, namely the statue approach method. The purpose of this study was conducted to find out how to fulfill biological needs in this case can be done by prisoners by utilizing some existing formal instruments, such as family visit leave and conjugal visit. So far, the policy of guiding prisoners, especially regarding prisoners’ rights related to fulfilling biological needs, should be regulated in the law so that there is a need for updates related to the penal law regulations.>
