A total of 1,867 correctional inmates (WBP) or inmates in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) received remissions in order to welcome Christmas 2022.

Head of the Correctional Division of the NTT Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) Regional Office, Herman Sawiran, said that all prisoners who received remission had met the requirements.

"So those who get remission, be it special remission I and free immediate remission are those who have met the requirements to get remission, so WBP does not arbitrarily accept remission," he said in Kupang, NTT, Saturday, December 24.

He explained, for the narapida who received special remission I or indirectly free the number reached 1,866 WBP.

Of the 1,866 narapida 413 people received 15 days of remission, 1,032 people were remissiond for one month, 328 people were remissiond for one month and 15 days, 93 people were remissiond for two months, while only one person was immediately released.

Head of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Marciana D Jone, added that remissions were given to convicts or criminal children who behaved well as evidenced not being disciplined in the last 6 (six) months.

In addition, he has participated in a coaching program organized by the Correctional Institution (Lapas) with a good title.

Marciana continued that the granting of remissions was also intended to accelerate the process of social reintegration so that WBP could immediately return to the community.

The purpose of social reintegration in the implementation of imprisonment provides balanced attention between the community and prisoners.

Prisoners, he said, must have wide opportunities to socialize with the community and on the other hand, the community must actively participate in providing support in fostering prisoners as a form of social responsibility.
