Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by Indonesia’s correctional system in fulfilling the rights of inmates with disabilities through a case study of Agus Buntung, a disabled inmate experiencing accessibility difficulties at Class IIA Kuripan Prison. Although Law No. 40 of 2008 and related government regulations stipulate rights to accessibility and inclusive rehabilitation for persons with disabilities, implementation in prisons remains inadequate. Limited infrastructure, insufficient assistive devices, and a lack of inclusive rehabilitation programs cause inmates like Agus to experience isolation and obstacles in participating in correctional programs. These issues hinder the achievement of rehabilitation goals aimed at preparing inmates for reintegration into society. This research employs a normative legal method with a statutory approach to analyze the fulfillment of accessibility rights, the implementation of inclusive rehabilitation programs, and the barriers encountered. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive reforms, including facility improvements, enhanced staff capacity, and more specific regulations to create a more inclusive and just correctional system for inmates with disabilities. These results are intended to inform policy recommendations that uphold human rights and support effective rehabilitation for disabled inmates.
