Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of human rights in the social environment of correctional institutions (Lapas) from the perspective of legal development and Pancasila values. Correctional institutions as institutions that accommodate prisoners have an obligation to not only carry out the function of guidance, but also ensure that the basic rights of prisoners are respected. This research uses empirical juridical method, the results show that although there are regulations that guarantee the protection of human rights for prisoners, implementation in the field still faces various challenges. Factors such as excessive prison capacity, lack of facilities, and limited human resources often cause prisoners’ rights to be neglected, such as the right to health, education, and humane treatment. However, there are efforts from some prisons that try to integrate the values of Pancasila, especially the second principle of just and civilized humanity, into prisoner development policies. Even so, the implementation of Pancasila values has not been evenly distributed and still requires strengthening. The conclusion of this study explains that the implementation of human rights in the social environment of correctional institutions from the perspective of legal development and Pancasila still requires significant improvement. Existing regulations must be more consistently enforced with an emphasis on Pancasila values as an ethical guide in fostering prisoners.
