JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Corrections (Ditjenpas) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) said that until now, candidates for receiving remissions or reduced sentences on August 17 were still in the process of collecting data.

"The number of recipients of the remission is still being processed, because the data is ongoing," said the Head of the Public Relations and Protocol Section of the Directorate General of Information and Communication Technology, Rika Aprianti when contacted in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Tuesday, August 10.

The Ministry of Law and Human Rights through the Ditjenpas is still legalizing the development of data on inmates, including children in conflict with the law who are proposed to get remission on 17 August.

The data for submitting remissions from the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to Ditjenpas may change before the D day. For example, if a candidate for remission or an inmate commits an disciplinary action that causes the remission to be canceled.

"So the remission proposal could be canceled if he is indiscipline," said Rika.

Regarding corruption convicts receiving remission or not on August 17, 2021, Rika emphasized that she could not confirm yet.

Moreover, according to the rules, he said, convicts of corruption cases also cannot immediately get remission because there are special requirements that must be met. This is different from general criminal cases, if for six months an inmate has good behavior then he can get remission.

However, he said, if they do not meet the requirements in accordance with Government Regulation No. 99 of 2012 concerning Conditions and Procedures for the Implementation of the Rights of Correctional Inmates, the inmates will certainly not receive remission.

In general, Rika hopes that inmates or inmates in all correctional institutions in the country can behave well. Because, one of the goals of coaching is to improve one's personality.

In addition, he said, if the prisoners behaved well, they could get their rights, namely remission according to Law No. 12 of 1995.
