Abstract

The Indonesian correctional system currently could be traced back to decades ago, where previously it used a prison system. The governance of the system in Indonesia can be divided into three different periods as the kingdoms, the Dutch Occupation and Indonesia now. This paper is aimed to identify and to analyze some principles adopted, the applicable legal basis as well the function of correction system run at those eras. Based on its development, the then prison system turned into a correctional system in Indonesia has a pivotal role and can be a way to solve many problems faced by the LAPAS in the current new normal condition. The literature study was used as a method to obtain the research findings. This study based on those principles yield an explanation in how expansion on correctional system in Indonesia began with the prison system used in both of the kingdoms and the Dutch Indies turned into a correctional system in 1953. LAPAS in Kingdoms era served as a place to hold inmates who have been found verdicts before being sentenced temporarily. Meanwhile, the term of LAPAS was called as a Prison in Dutch Era has a function to provide a deterrent effect or fear for inmates. Under Indonesia now, a correctional house as we called as the LAPAS is a place to provide guidance for inmates during sentencing in jail and provide correctional facilities that could be used for prisoners to prepare prisoners to return to society after their term has ended.
