Construction of Guidance for Death Row Inmates in Correctional Institutions in a Human Rights Perspective

Abstract

This research examines the formulation of an ideal coaching model construction for death row inmates in correctional institutions. Indonesia, as a country that consistently upholds the right to life as a human right, reflects this value in the 2026 National Criminal Code. This regulation categorizes death penalty as an alternative punishment and judges are very selective and careful in giving decisions. In addition, Article 100 of the Criminal Code changes the death penalty to life imprisonment if the convict shows good behavior during detention. This condition highlights the crucial need for a comprehensive coaching model, considering that death convicts will undergo a long waiting period in prison, even potentially experiencing a change in criminal status. The proposed coaching model is expected to provide a humanist and effective framework, and reflect the protection of human rights for death convicts during the legal process. This research uses a normative method by referring to the literature and laws and regulations.
