Abstract

The Law and Human Rights Ministerial Regulation Number 32 of 2020, which was issued as an emergency policy, has encouraged the optimal use of technology in the parole programs during the Covid-19 pandemic. Optimizing the use of technology, in fact, has made services in the correctional field, especially the parole program, more effective. Furthermore, this can also be an anticipatory measure in carrying out the corrective function in the event of a pandemic or any other emergency situation in the future. These demonstrated the importance of maintaining technology optimization in the New Normal era. Indonesia, on the other hand, still lacks a clear legal foundation and guidelines for the use of technology in the parole program. Therefore, this research aimed to compare the use of technology in Indonesia, the United States and the United Kingdom in order to determine how prepared Indonesia was in optimizing the use of technology in the parole program. This study used a qualitative approach with a normative legal method. The obtained data is then analyzed descriptively and comparatively. The result of this study indicated that Indonesia still had shortcomings in terms of the legal basis, operating standards, and the availability of technology. In conclusion, Indonesia still had to prepare regulations, standards and technologies needed in order to perform the correctional function more effectively and efficiently, both during and after the pandemic.
