Abstract
Article 1 number 18 states that
"Correctional institutions hereinafter referred to as Lapas are
institutions or places that carry out the function of fostering
prisoners". Fostering is an activity held to improve the quality of
personality and independence of prisoners. Furthermore, Article 61 paragraph
(1) states "State Prisons, Lapas, and Special Child Fostering Institutions
provide special treatment for groups with special needs. The groups with
special needs as referred to in paragraph (1) consist of, Children, Foster
Children, Women in reproductive function, Chronic disease sufferers, People
with disabilities; and Elderly people". In this provision, people with
disabilities are one of the groups of prisoners with special needs whose fostering
patterns must be differentiated from other ordinary prisoners. The method used
in this study is the juridical-empirical research method, namely research by
conducting a comprehensive study by conducting direct observations and
interviews at the research location. Based on the results of the study, it is
known that there are no specific regulations governing the procedures for
fostering patterns for prisoners with disabilities. The development of
prisoners with disabilities is divided into development patterns, namely
personality, independence, and religion. The procedure for developing prisoners
with physical disabilities is to look at the type of disability possessed by
prisoners with disabilities and adjust it to the development pattern of the
physical prisoner. The procedure for developing prisoners with physical and
mental disabilities is carried out in the following way, namely prisoners with
mental disabilities must be assessed psychologically to determine the extent of
the mental disability suffered by the person with disabilities by Bapas
officers.
