Elderly prisoners do not get the geriatric care that should be done so that elderly prisoners receive treatment and prevention of diseases and health problems due to ageing. This can be handled by carrying out routine checks on inmates. Not only examinations but also counselling activities about the health experienced by elderly prisoners. This examination is carried out by the prison in collaboration with the regional health office and is carried out regularly every week. With this routine check-up, elderly prisoners can overcome their health problems and prevent diseases that usually attack a person due to ageing.

Summary
Setiap manusia harus dijamin hak – hak manusianya, termasuk dengan narapidana yang ada di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan.

Data yang dikumpulkan oleh peneliti dengan melakukan studi lapangan adalah melakukan wawancara kepada beberapa petugas pemasyarakatan untuk memperoleh data primer.
