Fostering The Inmates Through An Open-Permanent Penitentiary: An Empirical Case In Indonesia

Abstract

The empirical datarevealed that inmates' lives and occupancy rates in the Indonesian penitentiary have been overcrowded. These conditions make it difficult not only to foster and provide security but also to increase the spending meal budget. This article offers an alternative concept fora criminal conviction that places inmates on Remote Island through an open-permanent penitentiary. The inmates are empowered on the island to be self-sufficient for overcoming their lives by working in agriculture, animal husbandry, and plantations. For this argumentation, several islands were selected which is eligible for occupancy.This article, by mathematical calculation, argues that the alternative concept does not only contribute to the development of inmates' fostering theory but can also be an ideal model for the development of inmate's fostering. This article argues that this alternative concept, whose impact will ultimately reduce overcrowded, cut budgets, and distribute growth across the region.
