The Indonesia's Urgency on Adopting New Approach on Comprehensive Prevention in Countering Terrorism Strategy: Lesson Learnt from the Mako Detention Facility's Riot and East Java Bombs

Indonesia was confronted with a series of terror attacks in May 2018, among others: riot incidents accompanied by police hostage by terrorist prisoners at Mako Brimob Prison in Kelapa Dua, Depok on May 8, 2018, suicide bombing occurred in three churches simultaneously on Sunday morning, 13 May, suicide bombing at the entrance of Polrestabes Surabaya on May 14th. This series of events shows that terrorism remains a security threat in Indonesia. A number of terror attacks in Indonesia are believed to have been committed by terrorist groups baiting to ISIS. Indonesia in the context of countermeasures against acamanism has done a number of approaches both soft approach and hard approach by using criminal justice model. Nevertheless, Indonesia has modified the criminal justice approach by involving the role of the military. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the various forms associated with hard approach? and how do new strategies also need to be considered looking at existing threats? This paper attempts to explore possible new strategies adopted by Indonesia as a continuation of the UN response to the problem of violent extremism. This paper is a further development of the research results of the Center for National Security Studies (Puskamnas) Bhayangkara Raya University of Jakarta on the global map of terrorism.

ACTUALIZATION OF DERADICALIZATION AND DISENGAGEMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TERRORIST NAPI IN INDONESIA

The issue of terrorism in Indonesia is one of the main problems of this nation that needs to get serious attention from the government. A series of incidents of terror during this time indicates an unresolved problem in countering terrorism. Based on the problem, the focus of this research study is how the guidance of terrorist prisoners in LP, then how the concept of deradicalization and disengament as an effort penagebulnyanya, and how to actualize the two concepts? 
 This research including the kind of research normative law, while specification this research is descriptive analytical Legal material used in covering primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The collection of legal materials in this paper is done by doing literature research and document studies. The main approach is doctrinal. 
 Based on the results of research can be concluded that First, the concept of terrorism punishment aims to realize the ultimate goal of coaching, namely rehabilitation and resosialisasi offenders, even to the suppression of crime (suppression of Crime). Second, Deraikalisasi sebgai efforts to eliminate radical understanding can be done in several ways namely, Rehabilitation, reedukasi, resosialisasi, and reintegration. Disengagement aims to break the relationship of former terrorist prisoners not to join their former group. Third, the approach used in actualizing both programs is First Strategy, refining the strategy focused on law enforcement and balanced with prevention and protection efforts to obtain comprehensive results. The second strategy is to utilize the full potential of the state's resources through the involvement of related elements in the superstructure, infrastructure and substructure. The third strategy is to synergize all the sectoral lines in counterterrorism that have been done by various components and not fragmented. For concrete steps in actualizing it there are two things that must be done, namely improving the quality of human resources that have a good understanding of the Prisoner, and classification of inmates as an effort to facilitate in coaching.

The Consequences Today of the United States' Brutal Post-9/11 Interrogation Techniques

Commentators and researchers have written on the harsh and unlawful tactics that military interrogators employed to obtain actionable intelligence from suspected terrorists following the attacks on September 11, 2001. However, no one has painted the picture of these interrogations through the words of identified and named interrogators. This article does that, by focusing on the words and unique stories of five interrogators. The article then explores the unintended consequences that are still with us today because of the military's enhanced interrogation techniques. Much of the information in this article is not found to this detail anywhere else in the literature, even after the publication of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in December 2014.One interrogator, known as the King of Torture, worked for the Department of Defense (DoD) in Bagram, Afghanistan in 2002. A second also worked for the DoD in Bagram, and was the interrogator for Dilawar, one of the two Afghans who died in the Bagram detention center from brutal treatment and torture. Two other interrogators were military interrogators in Guantanamo (one, a woman, holds a Ph.D from Yale). The fifth was an interrogator for the FBI. In speaking to the Witness to Guantanamo project, these four men and one woman tell a remarkable story of the evolution of interrogations beginning after the attacks on September 11, 2001 through 2003.Tensions during this time period existed between experienced federal law enforcement agents, who focused on a rapport-based method to obtain admissible evidence, and the DoD leadership, whose focus was on actionable intelligence. The DoD leadership instructed young and inexperienced military soldiers and reservists to engage in enhanced interrogation techniques comparable to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and torture. Although many of the military interrogators did not have the proper training to interrogate alleged terrorist prisoners, they were given wide latitude, and were only limited by their imagination. Their often untested and helter-skelter interrogation techniques led to the unintended consequences set out in this article.In a nutshell, the article reviews the military's brutal interrogation techniques, that included torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment (CIDT) and compares and contrasts the tactics to the rapport building interrogation techniques promoted and conducted by law enforcement. It then outlines the unintended consequences that are with us today as a result of the military's brutal treatment committed more than a decade ago. The article closes with suggestions on how the U.S. can again be seen by many as the beacon of human rights and the rule of law.The Witness to Guantanamo project has filmed interviews with 132 people, including 49 former detainees, who have lived or worked at the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The author is the founder and director of the Witness to Guantanamo project.

IMPLEMENTASI PEMBINAAN MELALUI PROGRAM REHABILITASI DAN REINTEGRASI SOSIAL BAGI NARAPIDANA TERORISME

Coaching for terrorism inmates in institution is an effort to counter terrorism. Coaching is done through rehabilitation and social reiintegration. In this study there were two issues discussed the implementation of training for terrorism prisoners as well as the factors driving and inhibiting formation for terrorism prisoners. This type of research is empirical legal research. The research is descriptive. Primary data sourced from observation and interviews while secondary data sourced from literatures and electronic articles. Secondary data was collected through library research. Data is collected, processed and presented qualitative descriptive analysis. Coaching for terrorism inmates in prisons have not been implemented optimally. It can be seen from the formation of the terrorist network that carried out in prisons. Former inmates also returned to terrorism after being released from prison. The driving factor for the development of terrorist prisoners is because terrorism is a crime that should ditanggulagi. Guidance is also the mandate of Act Number 12 of 1995 Concerning Correctional Institution and the Indonesian Government Regulation Number 99 of 2012 concerning the Second Amendment to Government Regulation No. 32 of 1999 on Terms and Procedures for Implementation of the Right of Corrections Inmates and the vision and mission of the institution. Coaching effort is one of community protection movement. Coaching is a limiting factor in terms of the legal structure and legal culture. Prison staff lack the ability to Islam, a lack of awareness of officers, there is no coaching format for terrorism prisoners, the view that training for terrorism prisoners are tightening and the lack of specialized staff in fostering terrorism inmates. Legal culture includes cultural terrorist prisoners law does not regret his actions and legal culture society reject terrorism inmates.

The Radicalisation of Prison Inmates: A Review of the Literature on Recruitment, Religion and Prisoner Vulnerability

It should come as no surprise that prisons can become breeding grounds for radicalisation and terrorism as prisons serve as reservoirs for society’s most dangerous individuals (Useem & Clayton, 2009). Prisons are places of vulnerability and they provide a space where radical and extremist ideologies can flourish. Despite being a popular topic among researchers and policymakers, there still remain significant gaps in our understanding and many unanswered questions. This paper provides a literature review on prisoner radicalisation. It specifically explores the role religion plays in prison and its link to radicalisation, prisoner vulnerability to radicalisation, the radicalisation process, and outlines the current debate as to where terrorist prisoners should be held. This paper concludes by identifying the major gaps in the literature and offering concluding remarks.

The Challenges of Terrorist and Extremist Prisoners

Numerous policy issues surround the incarceration of religious extremists and individuals with terrorist ties. These inmates must be managed, prevented from precipitating security risks, and stopped from recruiting or encouraging others to commit terrorist acts. To systematically investigate the prevalence of these issues in U.S. prisons, we conducted a survey of wardens of state-level maximum security prisons in the United States. Results suggest that the majority of facilities currently have existing security threat groups (STGs) with extremist religious beliefs. Large majorities of wardens indicated shortages of religious service providers, with nearly all allowing volunteers to supplement existing religious services. A multinomial logistic regression model suggests that (in accordance with previous literature on gangs) wardens pursuing policies of isolating these prisoners believe these policies to be much more effective than other strategies, such as increased monitoring. Additionally, more frequent staff training relevant to managing these individuals is significantly related to wardens’ judgments that their policies are effective.

Crossing the limen: terrorist prisoners and the politically liminal process of imprisonment

Being processed through prison, for the politically violent, can be understood to be a liminal occurrence. Drawing upon the experiences of imprisoned Republicans in Northern Ireland, this study contrasts internment and imprisonment and situates these militants within the conditions of liminality – the role of comradeship; the liminal as dangerous and polluting; their being hidden and stripped. The study explores how imprisonment seeks to refashion militants by undermining the frames for their militancy. Liminality is suggested as an alternative conceptual tool for critically reflecting upon counter-terrorism.

Risk Assessment of Terrorist Prisoners

Risk Assessment of Terrorist Prisoners

Terrorism: The "New" religious war

This paper gives an overview of terrorism and discusses the effects of religious fundamentalism, the development of terrorist activities and the re-emergence of suicide attacks that culminated in the attack of September 11, 2001. The actions of two American citizens, Jane Fonda and John Walker Lindh, are discussed from the perspective of how their individual actions were dealt with under the criminal justices system. An attempt is made to understand the actions of the United States government in handling terrorist prisoners, and the rationale for using military tribunals rather than declaring them prisoners of war. The paper concludes that intelligence is the key to defeating terrorist activities.

Repatriation of terrorist prisoners

The newly passed British Repatriation of Prisoners Act leaves the matter of the return of terrorists entirely to ministerial assurances, without any more substantial safeguards.
