<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the policy of limiting remissions for corruption convicts in the Indonesian legal system, particularly regarding the consistency between the rehabilitative objectives of the correctional system and the special treatment of corruption as an extraordinary crime. The main focus of this study is to evaluate whether the tightening of remission requirements in Government Regulation Number 99 of 2012 is in line with the principles stipulated in Law Number 12 of 1995 concerning Corrections. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory approach (statute-government-regulation approach) and a conceptual approach (conceptual-government-regulation approach). Data were collected through a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, including an analysis of Sahardjo’s correctional theory and Romli Atmasasmita’s extraordinary crime theory. The results show that limiting remissions for corruptors through additional requirements such as justice collaborator status and payment of compensation reflects a differentiated dimension in criminal policy to strengthen the deterrent effect. However, legally, this policy creates a tension between norms and the rights of prisoners guaranteed by the Corrections Law, which prioritizes rehabilitation. The implementation of this policy represents the state’s effort to uphold substantive justice for the wider community due to the impact of systemic corruption. This study concludes that although corruption requires extraordinary measures, the policy of limiting remissions must maintain a balance between the deterrent aspect and the primary goal of corrections, namely social reintegration. Regulatory harmonization is needed so that special treatment for corruptors does not negate the basic human rights of inmates.]]>
