Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out the criminal sanctions for fugitive convicts in Class IIA Jambi Correctional Institutions (Lapas), starting from the factors that cause escaped convicts, the sanctions applied to escaped convicts to efforts to prevent inmates from escaping. An empirical juridical approach is applied in this research, the method used is through data collection by means of observation, structured and unstructured interviews and documentation. In drawing conclusions, a qualitative approach is used, data analysis is used to draw conclusions from the answers to the research objectives. The conclusion of this study is that disciplinary enforcement of convicts who run away during their sentence period is carried out in various ways according to the level of the offense. The most serious violations were placed in solitary confinement for 2 (two) to 6 (six) days, loss of remission rights, family visits, parole and assimilation leave until leave before pure release in the form of parole. Efforts to prevent convicts from escaping from the Jambi Class IIA prison have been carried out but have been constrained by the overcapacity of the inmates, the unequal ratio of personnel and weapons from the guards and the physical condition of the prison building which is no longer feasible due to its age and is prone to flooding. To overcome this, the Lapas itself has made various prevention efforts including in the form of a social approach in the form of mental coaching, sanctions if it has happened to escaped convicts and also to Correctional employees with physical and mental coaching as well as disciplinary coaching.
