Abstract

The enactment of Criminal Code (Wetboek van Strafrecht) in Indonesia is based on the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 1 of 1946 and Government Regulation No. 2 of 1945. The existence of these regulations not only gives legitimacy to the implementation of the Criminal Code, but also provides 'boundary signs' in implementing them. This paper aims to examine the limitations of the enactment of the Criminal Code based on various provisions. The limiting signs include: first, the enactment of the Criminal Code is temporary until the Criminal Code is established based on the 1945 Constitution. This means that the Draft Law on the Criminal Code must be ratified immediately. It is a form of carrying out the mandate to renewal of criminal law as stated in the constitution. Second, there is a need to examine the norms of criminal law in the Criminal Code before it is applied (whether the criminal law norms are in accordance with the criteria "does not conflict with the position of the Republic of Indonesia as an independent state or not in conflict with the Constitution"), and third, the application of the articles in the Criminal Code must remain in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Fulfilling inmates’ right to reading materials is crucial for effective rehabilitation within Indonesia’s correctional system, despite robust legal guarantees—from the 1945 Constitution to specific laws and regulations—practical implementation faces significant hurdles. High recidivism rates in Indonesia underscore the urgent need for genuine rehabilitation beyond mere punitive measures. Using a doctrinal legal research method, the analysis draws on statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by case studies from Class IIB Pinrang, LPKA Pekanbaru, and Class IIA Kupang. Findings highlight there is a persistent gap between legal mandates and on-the-ground reality. A fundamental shift is needed to bridge this: reading must be seen not just as a formal right, but as a core educational and rehabilitative tool for intellectual and personal development. Strategic improvements require stronger cross-sector collaboration, enhanced officer training, and outcome-based evaluation to ensure reading genuinely transforms inmates and supports their successful reintegration into society.
