METODE PENGAWASAN WALI PEMASYARAKATAN TERHADAP SIKAP DAN PERILAKU NARAPIDANA DI LEMBAGA PEMASYARAKATAN PEREMPUAN KELAS II A SEMARANG

Abstract

This research aims to examine the supervision methods applied by parole officers to monitor the attitudes and behavior of inmates at the Semarang Class II A Women’s Correctional Institution, and to identify the challenges encountered in its implementation. Effective supervision is crucial in the rehabilitation process to ensure that inmates return to society with improved attitudes and behavior. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and focus group discussions (FGD). This approach aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the supervision process and the factors influencing its effectiveness. The findings reveal that inmate supervision at the Semarang Class II A Women’s Correctional Institution uses the Inmate Behavior Assessment System (SPPN). However, the system's implementation is not supported by clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), leading to variations in the supervision methods used by parole officers. A psychological approach is employed in the supervision process, considering the inmates' personality backgrounds and providing positive reinforcement to support their rehabilitation. However, the imbalance between the number of officers and inmates, as well as limited facilities such as counseling rooms, hampers the effectiveness of supervision and deep interactions between parole officers and inmates. The rehabilitation programs include moral education, skills training, and individual counseling, aimed at preparing inmates for reintegration into society. Behavioral evaluations are conducted periodically, but challenges arise in ensuring the honesty of inmates and the effectiveness of the rehabilitation. The main obstacles identified include overcrowding, where one parole officer must supervise many inmates, limiting the time and attention given to each individual. The absence of standard SOP also leads to inconsistencies in supervision. Limited physical facilities and irregular meetings reduce the effectiveness of supervision. This research recommends the establishment of clear SOP to enhance the effectiveness and consistency of supervision.
