Abstract
The Right to Remission granted to larceny convicts and other convicts
in Correctional Institutions is based on Article 10 letter of Law Number 22 of
2022 regarding Corrections, which states that one of a convict's rights is to
receive a reduced sentence. However, not all theft offenders satisfy the
remission requirements. The research methodology employed is empirically legal.
Empirical juridical analyzes of the applicable legal provisions and what
actually occurs in a society still governed by existing legal principles and
guidelines. This study aims to clarify the implementation of remissions for
theft convicts and the obstacles associated with their implementation. Based on
the research findings, granting pardons to larceny offenders in Banda Aceh's
Class IIA Correctional Institutions has been implemented in accordance with the
applicable laws and regulations. However, not all larceny offenders are
eligible for commutation because other factors must be met in order to be
granted a commutation. In addition to the convict's excellent behavior, the
theft convict must have served at least six months in prison and not have been
subject to disciplinary action recorded in Register F during the period
calculated for granting remission. Some of the obstacles to instituting
commutations for theft offenders at the Class IIA Penitentiary in Banda Aceh
stem from juridical factors, institutional and human resource factors,
facilities and infrastructure factors, offender behavior factors, and cultural
factors.
