Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 was a problem in Indonesia. To protect prisoners during a pandemic, it is necessary to make regulations related to assimilation programs for prisoners. This research combines normative and empirical research by studying norms relating to the terms and procedures for granting assimilation to inmates during a pandemic and looking directly at the implementation of assimilation during a pandemic in Class IIA Gorontalo Prison. The results of the study show that the assimilation program for prisoners is regulated in two ministerial regulations in the field of Law and Human Rights. It was found that 193 prisoners receiving the assimilation program in 2020, 100 people in 2021, and 77 people in 2022. Obstacles faced by Class IIA Gorontalo Prison in implementing the granting of assimilation and integration rights are internal constraints related to clients, human resources, social assistants and prison officers, as well as the implementation system. External barriers are related to the culture of the Gorontalo people who still tend to have a negative stigma against convicts and choose to give social punishment by staying away from convicts because they are considered dangerous people.
