<![CDATA[This study examines the institutional reform of the Islamic correctional system in Aceh through the development of the Dayah Insaniah model. The research is motivated by the institutional gap between the objectives of Islamic criminal law under the Qanun Jināyat and the correctional practices currently implemented through the national penitentiary system. Using normative legal research integrated with sociological analysis, the study analyzes primary legal materials, including Law No. 11 of 2006 on the Governance of Aceh, Qanun No. 7 of 2013 concerning Jināyat Procedural Law, Qanun No. 6 of 2014 concerning Jināyat Law, and Aceh Governor Regulation No. 5 of 2018, supported by secondary literature on Islamic criminal justice, correctional reform, and faith-based rehabilitation. The study identifies three principal findings. First, a structural inconsistency exists between the rehabilitative objectives of Islamic criminal law and the placement of Jināyat offenders in general correctional institutions. Second, the mandated UPTD Pembinaan under Aceh’s legal framework has not yet been established, creating an institutional vacuum in the post-sentencing rehabilitation process. Third, prison overcrowding and criminal mixing potentially undermine the correctional objectives of iṣlāḥ (reformation) and ta’dīb (moral development) envisioned by Islamic criminal law. Based on these findings, this study formulates the Dayah Insaniah model as an institutional framework integrating correctional functions, Islamic education, spiritual rehabilitation, and community participation. The model is analytically constructed through legal system theory, development law theory, and the principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah. The study contributes to the development of Islamic criminal justice by proposing a regionally grounded correctional model capable of aligning Islamic criminal law with rehabilitative institutional practice in Aceh.]]>
