Human Rights-based Public Service in the Class IIA Correctional Facility of Bengkulu

Abstract

This study is designed to describe problems related to human rights-based public services in the Class IIA Correctional Facility of Bengkulu from the perspective of implementing human rights-based public service policies consisting of accessibility and availability of facilities, human resources availability, officer compliance, public service innovation, and integrity. This type of research uses a qualitative descriptive methodology with data collection techniques that include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis stages involve data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The research findings indicate that the implementation of public service at Class IIA Correctional Facility is not yet optimal, as several issues related to the five research aspects are identified, including the inadequacy of facilities and infrastructure for vulnerable groups, overcrowding in the correctional facility housing blocks, limited quality of prison staff, a lack of innovative service provision, and the presence of alleged irregular practices within the correctional facility. Recommendations for improving future service implementation by the jail include providing adequate facilities and infrastructure, enhancing human resources through education and training, facilitating innovations in public service, and establishing effective monitoring and complaint mechanisms.
