LAPAS or Correctional Institution under the auspices of the Directorate General of Corrections is the final place of the criminal justice system process that fosters and integrates the social of convicts, so that when returning to society they are able to live a normal life. Elderly (according to Law No. 13 of 1998: Elderly) is a person whose age reaches the age of 60 years and above. In its efforts, Correctional Services interpret this understanding by regulating the rights of inmates contained in Law no. 12 of 1995 article 14 paragraph 1.The increasing age and declining body condition of the elderly inmates need special treatment both in health, treatment, and public services. Elderly inmates as much as possible are treated as people usually are, it's just that the place and application are different. This is for the implementation of part of Human Rights (HAM) as a national instrument. This special handling effort involves other stakeholders be it medical or health workers and the government to support the infrastructure needed. The elderly as one of the vulnerable groups become important objects in terms of how decent handlers are so that they feel cared for in their twilight years. Although until now still in the process and stages of refinement of special handling for them. The fact is still not optimal and this study illustrates how well the effort is.

Gender Equality in Human Resource Processes within the Department of Correctional Services, South Africa

The article discusses the human resource processes of the South African Department of Correctional Services (DCS) and assesses gender equality at all levels of management within the department. The article utilises the Mainstreaming Gender Equality (MGE) approach, known as gender mainstreaming to bring equal opportunities for both men and women in human resource development programmes within the DCS. A qualitative research approach was utilised to collect data. The article explores that there are challenges especially for women to advance their careers to senior management positions in the DCS. This is because of a lack of knowledge, compliance, and readiness to embrace gender transformation policies in the department. The article proposes policy recommendations to mainstream gender at institutional, departmental, and individual levels, and aims to contribute towards creating awareness to promote gender transformation in the public service (general context) and DCS (specific context).

Pandémia – Paradigmaváltás a büntetés-végrehajtásban. Nemzetközi kitekintés és a magyarországi jó gyakorlatok bemutatása

A koronavírus-világjárvány különleges kihívás elé állította a szabadságelvonással foglalkozó intézményeket. Az Európa Tanács, az EuroPris (The European Organisation of Prison and Correctional Services) és más nemzetközi szervezetek is állást foglaltak a szabadságuktól megfosztott személyek – a koronavírus-világjárvánnyal kapcsolatos – kezelési elveiről, illetve a büntetés-végrehajtási intézetek működési rendjéről. A magyar büntetés-végrehajtás gyorsan, hatékonyan és eredményesen intézkedett a járvány megjelenésekor. A sikeres védekezés eredményeként nem alakultak ki komolyabb gócpontok, tömeges megbetegedések. A bevezetett intézkedések, eljárásrendek és a sikeresen végrehajtott – az Operatív Törzs által koordinált – feladatellátás biztosította, hogy az intézetek, intézmények esetében a legszigorúbb elvárásoknak is megfelelő módon kerüljön megakadályozásra a járvány terjedése. Egy ilyen méretű világjárvány fejlődési lehetőségként történő felfogása magában hordozza a megújulás potenciális esélyét a büntetés-végrehajtás néhány szakterületén, valamint számos jogintézményében. Az európai börtönök között a magyar büntetés-végrehajtási szervezet koronavírus elleni védekezése a legsikeresebbek közé tartozott, a szervezet a járványügyi védekezésben önállóan, a polgári egészségügyi intézményektől függetlenül volt képes kialakítani és kezelni a saját koronavírus mintavételi rendszerét.

WHEN MEN WEAR DREADLOCKS TO WORK Department of Correctional Services v POPCRU [2012] 2 BLLR 110 (LAC)

The inclusion of constitutional rights within the ambit of the employment relationship raises new tensions between the enforcement of an employee’s right to gender equality, religious and cultural freedoms and an employer’s right to engage in free economic activity. The employer, in seeking to increase its productivity and efficiency, may insist on standards of uniformity in the manner in which employees dress to work. The employee, on the other hand, might find the insistence of these norms or uniformities in conflictwith his/her right to equality and/or religious or cultural freedoms. In this case, the courts were faced with the task of reconciling these tensions between the Department of Correctional Services and some of its employees. This note looks at the manner in which the Labour Court ([2010] 10 BLLR 1067; (2010) 31 ILJ 2433 (LC) and Labour Appeal Court dealt with the issue.

Parole Officer Decision-Making Before Parole Revocation: Why Context Is Key When Delivering Correctional Services

Back-end sentencing is the discretionary, administrative process through which individuals on parole are returned to prison for violating the requirements of their supervised release. Parole officers play a crucial role in this process as they are the witnesses to the rule-breaking behaviors of people on parole supervision and ultimately must initiate the back-end sentencing process. This study explores predictors of parole officer decision-making when determining whether to consider a person for revocation or to gear programmatic community-based resources toward them in an attempt to decrease the likelihood of their eventual revocation. Our results indicate that if people released to parole are front-loaded programmatic resources as a part of their release conditions from prison, the odds that parole officers subsequently gear community-based programs toward them decreases by approximately 60%. Other factors such as demographics, actuarial risk levels, and criminal history were not significantly predictive of officer decision-making in this context.

Maternal incarceration: Impact on parent–child relationships

Female incarceration is rising steeply in Australia and other high-income countries. The majority of incarcerated women are mothers. Their children represent a particularly vulnerable group, often subject to adverse experiences due to their family’s disadvantaged circumstances involving inadequate housing, food insecurity, poverty, poor health, a lack of personal safety due to violence and resulting trauma. This qualitative study explores parenting experiences of incarcerated mothers separated from their children. Interviews involved 65 mothers in three Australian prisons and 19 stakeholders providing correctional services and support for incarcerated women. Data were analysed using interpretive description. Mothers’ accounts highlighted frustrations resulting from trying to maintain relationships with their children, often exacerbating their separation and compounding parenting difficulties. Two major themes emerged from the data: ‘protecting their children’ and ‘at the mercy of the system’. Mothers described how they tried to protect their children from the consequences of their incarceration, yet many of the correctional system processes and procedures made it even harder to maintain connection. Incarcerated mothers need support in their parenting role. Ideally, this support should commence during incarceration. Further, changes within prison routines could enhance mothers’ efforts to keep in contact with their children, through visits and phone calls.
