Objective: Female prisoners are prisoners who must be given special protection, especially in fulfilling their rights, because they have different natures from men. With such a nature, it becomes the main basis for the need for legal protection for women. However, in essence, these regulations still generally regulate the rights of prisoners, as we know that women will experience conditions that men do not experience, such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. So this becomes further research to analyze the fulfillment of the rights of female prisoners in correctional institutions. This research aims to analyze the implementation of fulfilling the rights of female prisoners based on Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections.
Method: This research is a type of normative juridical and sociological juridical research, with the approaches used, namely the statutory approach, case approach, conceptual approach, and comparative approach. By qualitative research methods, in this research, the data analysis used is qualitative research method analysis models.
Result: The rights of convicts must be given due attention in prisons, especially female convicts. Remember that there are many things that women experience that men do not experience, such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. However, there is still a lack of facilities such as a lactation room for breastfeeding for prisoners who are pregnant, and/or if the child is having a tantrum, this room can be used so as not to disturb the activities of other prisoners.
Conclusion: Fulfilling the rights of prisoners is an important aspect of efforts to create better human resources after training in correctional institutions. The rights of convicts must be given due attention in prisons, especially female convicts. However, there is still a lack of facilities such as a lactation room for breastfeeding for prisoners who are pregnant, and/or if the child is having a tantrum, this room can be used so as not to disturb the activities of other prisoners. Apart from that, there are no regulations that specifically regulate the rights of female prisoners who are pregnant, breastfeeding, and with children.
