Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the application of disciplinary sanctions against prisoners who use cellphones at the Jambi Class IIA Penitentiary and the obstacles faced in fostering prisoners who have implications for using cellphones. The research method in this research is empirical juridical. The results showed that the sanctions against prisoners who use cellphones at the Jambi Class IIA Penitentiary are in the form of being put into a seclusion cell for 2 (two) times 6 (six) days and not getting the rights of prisoners and the obstacles faced by the Jambi Class IIA Penitentiary in providing guidance to prisoners who have implications for violations of the rules using cellphones, namely the lack of officers who carry out coaching, from the prisoners themselves and the lack of infrastructure facilities in correctional institutions. Suggestions It is necessary to make improvements to the rules of discipline regarding the explanation of owning, using, and carrying communication devices because there are difficulties in proving prisoners who use cellphones belonging to other prisoners and there are differences in sanctions in correctional rules and implementing rules. There needs to be special coaching for prisoners who violate the rules.
