Abstract

The imprisonment penalty imposed on narcotics abusers is a form of criminal law policy from Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics which adopts a double track system. Realizing that, from a health perspective, the abusers are those suffering illness and although they are sentenced to imprisonment, they should still have a proper treatment. The prisoners abusing narcotics who are placed in Penitentiary Class II Watampone must still get their rights as prisoners as well as the right to rehabilitation. However, during the Covid-19 virus pandemic, various government efforts to minimize the spread of the virus in all aspects cause everything to be completely restricted. For this reason, the government should be able to fulfill the rights of narcotics abusers, especially the right to rehabilitation during the pandemic. By fulfilling those rights, it is hoped that the goal of saving Indonesian from narcotics abuse can be realized optimally. This research aims to identify and explain the fulfillment of rights to rehabilitation for narcotics abuse prisoners in Penitentiary Class II Watampone. This is an empirical normative law research, using primary and secondary data, and using qualitative analysis to answer the questions.
