Abstract

Article 9 letter j of Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections expressly states that inmates have the right to receive wages for the work done by inmates in Correctional Institutions. However, until now there has been no regulation that specifically regulates the mechanism for paying wages. As a result, the granting of prisoners' rights cannot be fulfilled properly. This article aims to analyze the fulfillment of prisoners' rights to earn wages from work, to analyze the obstacles faced in fulfilling the right of prisoners to earn wages from work. The empirical juridical method of data was obtained through literature research and field research. Literature research utilizes secondary data by examining the literature and applicable laws and regulations. The results of the study show that the percentage of wages given by the Head of the Lhoknga Class III Correctional Institution is 30% of the income obtained by inmates from the sale of their manufactured goods. The Class III Lhoknga Institution has many productive activities carried out by inmates such as barbershops, agriculture, and welding. The obstacles faced are the absence of detailed regulations regarding the amount of wages that must be received by inmates, marketing of work products, lack of interest from inmates to work, and lack of cooperation with third parties.
