TANTANGAN DALAM REHABILITASI KELOMPOK RENTAN DI LEMBAGA PEMASYARAKATAN: STUDI KASUS PADA NARAPIDANA REMAJA DENGAN GANGGUAN MENTAL

Rehabilitation of vulnerable groups in correctional institutions is a challenging task, especially for juvenile prisoners with mental disorders. This study carries out an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced in efforts to rehabilitate vulnerable groups in correctional institutions with a focus on juvenile prisoners who experience mental disorders. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case studies in correctional institutions which have special facilities for juvenile prisoners with mental disorders. Data was collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with juvenile inmates, correctional officers and related medical personnel. Based on data analysis, this research identifies several challenges in the rehabilitation of vulnerable groups in correctional institutions. First, there are limited adequate facilities and resources to provide appropriate care and treatment for juvenile prisoners with mental disorders. Second, there is social stigmatization of juvenile prisoners with mental disorders which complicates their rehabilitation and reintegration process into society. Third, there is a lack of coordination and collaboration between correctional institutions, medical personnel and other related parties. The findings of this research indicate the need to improve adequate facilities and resources, increase understanding of mental disorders and rehabilitation, and increase collaboration between correctional institutions, medical personnel and other related parties. Thus, rehabilitation efforts for vulnerable groups in correctional institutions can provide significant benefits for juvenile prisoners with mental disorders and improve their quality of life.
