Tarjih Maqashidi of Granting Remission for Terrorist Convict in Indonesia

Abstract

The problem of the deradicalization policy of terrorist convicts is in the regulation of granting remissions for terrorism convicts because terrorist convicts can manipulate the conditions for granting remission to pretend to be good and cooperative (taqiyah) during their criminal period in prison, so that they can quickly gain freedom and return to the network. This empirical research was processed descriptively. Data collection was carried out through field research at the Class I Lapas Surabaya prison and Class II B Lamongan prison through a phenomenological approach, interpretive paradigm, and tarjih maqashidiy analysis. This study concludes that granting remissions to terrorism convicts has a more significant advantage (maslahah) than eliminating remissions on the grounds of extraordinary crimes. Providing the opportunity to change behavior is better prioritized than providing punishment without any attempt to change the behavior of terrorist prisoners with the maximum penalty.
