This studies employs an empirical prison research approach performed at the Tidore Islands District Prosecutor’s office and the Soasio Correctional middle, taking into account the prosecutor’s authority in conducting prosecutions and the role of probation officers in social inquiry and baby supervision. information were accrued via in-depth and unstructured interviews with juvenile prosecutors, probation officials, dad and mom, and children in war with the regulation, supported through secondary statistics received from statutory regulations, books, and legitimate documents. The findings monitor that the implementation of prison provisions on the position of infant detention at the prosecution level has no longer been performed successfully due to criminal elements, regulation enforcement elements, and boundaries in helping centers and infrastructure. The absence of a temporary toddler Placement group (LPAS) and limited get right of entry to to Social Welfare provider institutions (LPKS) have resulted in children being detained in wellknown detention centers. This condition hinders the achievement of kids’s rights and contradicts the principle of the best pursuits of the kid as mandated by using the UU SPPA.
