Abstract

This research aims to describe the fulfillment of the Rehabilitation Rights of Child Prisoners in the Tanjungbalai City Narcotics Case according to the Child Protection Law. Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection (UU PA) is the legal basis that regulates the rights and protection of children in Indonesia. The research method used in the research is empirical juridical. In imposing sanctions on children who commit criminal acts of narcotics abuse, they are often sentenced to imprisonment, this does not solve children's problems.
