Restorative Treatment Against Corruption Inmates

Abstract

The eradicating corruption crimes in Indonesia still adheres to retribu-tive justice in sentencing the corruption crime offenders. However, the retributive justice approach is not in line with the primary purpose of eradicating corruption crimes. The retributive justice approach has also been unable to realize the purposes of sentencing and the purposes of treatment. The discussion of this problem is carried out using a qualitative method. This paper aims to identify the urgency of changing the sentencing and the treatment model for the inmates of corruption crimes and analyze the sentencing and the treatment model for the inmates of corruption crimes based on the principles of restorative justice. The corruption crime inmates' treatment in prisons carried out by the state is essentially an embodiment of justice that aims to make a deterrent effect. However, empirical facts show that the imprisonment of corruption crimes as sentencing and the treatment program in prison carried out by the state for the inmates of corruption crimes has been unable to realize the purposes of sentencing and treatment. The punishment of corruption crime offenders based on the principles of restorative justice is punishment in the form of fines and social work. The use of fines must coincide with the use of social work sanctions. The treatment of corrupt crime inmates based on the principles of restorative justice is the inmates' treatment carried out in society, not prisons.
