Abstract

Granting remission is a right owned by prisoners, but these rights can be obtained by meeting the criteria of the applicable laws and regulations. One of the prisoners' rights is to reduce their criminal period (remission) regarding Corrections. The correctional system is a system that is not just rehabilitation and resocialization but is equipped with educative-correlative-definitive and individual and social aspects ideally based on the Pancasila philosophy. This system itself in correctional facilities must have certain conditions or sizes. These certain elements are interrelated and proceed according to specific concepts so that this legal concession can only be used as a tool for law enforcement officers to provide conditions. Therefore, in this study, the author raises the issue of the Fulfillment of the Right to Reduction of Criminal Period at the Penitentiary Class IIA Palu. This study uses an empirical research method, which concludes that the right to a reduction in the sentence at the Penitentiary Class IIA Palu has been running smoothly every year. This can be seen from the increasing number of remissions each year based on the applicable laws and regulations. The inmates have good behavior and have met administrative requirements such as completeness of files from inmates and meeting the assessment requirements of prison officers. According to law, the prisoner will be processed to obtain his right of remission.
