Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has taught Indonesia a valuable lesson to accommodate the safety of children who are undergoing training. However, the policy of preventing the transmission of Covid-19 to fostered children still has the potential to cause vertical conflicts. Policies between law enforcement agencies are still running independently, and do not take into account integrated law enforcement. Therefore, the problem studied in this article is how is the condition of the children being fostered by correctional institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic? and how is the integration of the policy to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 to children assisted by correctional institutions? The writing of this article uses normative legal research/doctrinal research methods. The data used in this research is secondary data, which is based on its legally binding power. Based on the results of the study, the Indonesian government has issued a policy to reduce prisoners and inmates, but empirical facts show that during the Covid-19 pandemic, inmates in prisons are still quite crowded, thereby increasing the risk of Covid-19 transmission. In addition, inter-agency policies seem to only pay attention to their respective interests, so that there is still the potential to increase the number of children in prison in prisons. Thus, an integrated policy is needed to optimize the prevention of the transmission of Covid-19 to children fostered by correctional institutions. The integration of these policies can be carried out through the issuance of joint policies between law enforcement agencies related to preventing the transmission of Covid-19 to children assisted by correctional institutions.
