Abstract

The Ministry of Law and Human Rights noted that 5061 inmates were released from prison. They were released through an assimilation and integration program to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Inmates who are released have to under the guidance and supervision of the Class I Surabaya Correctional Center (Bapas) with 24 Community Advisors (PK). The number of prisoners who must be supervised and guided by PK is not balanced, causing various problems. This is what underlies the research with the objectives: (1) Obtaining an overview of these problems faced by PK in carrying out their duties, (2) and efforts to solve them. The subjects of this qualitative research is PK of Class I Bapas in Surabaya and their triangulation of prisoners. Data obtained through interviews, then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the PK of BAPAS Class I Surabaya experienced difficulties in carrying out their duties, including: 1) the lack of PK so that the supervision of prisoners was not optimal. 2) the lack of legal awareness of prisoners about the role of the Bapas, so that not all of their programs can be implemented. 3) lack of operational funds that hinder the implementation of existing programs. The efforts to overcome this are: 1) socialization of the role of the Bapas to Prisoners. 2) cooperate with partners to implement the programs. Conclusion is Bapas Class I in Surabaya still need additional PK to carry out their duties and to reduce prisoners it is necessary to strive for diversion.
