9. Human Development Program (for Juvenile) in Malaysia, byTn. Adinaraina; Akademi Koreksional Malaysia (AKM).

- The organizational structure of prison in Malaysia under the Ministryof Home Affairs and has the overall authority in the management ofthe prison in Malaysia. These powers include budget, humanresources, infrastructure, education and training and humanresource development.Then prisons, detention, Parole Board, Rehabilitation Center,Integrity School and Correctional Academy is under the authority ofCommissioner General. This can be seen in the followingorganizational structure :

- Imprisonment institutions in Malaysia amounted to 43 institutionscomprising of jail / prison as many as 35 institutions, detentioncenters as much as 1 institutions, correctional institutions as muchas 5 agencies, and juvenile centers as much as 3 institutions. Totalnumber of inmates per June 1, 2014 was 39.661 out of a totalcapacity of 50.700. This condition can be seen in the followingtable :



- As a country that has many islands and a destination for workers,the foreign inmates occupy a considerable amount in Malaysia.foreign inmates numbered 12.120 persons or 30.6% of the total

inhabitants (39.661). Foreign inmates from Indonesia in first placeas many as 332 people with the majority of cases of violation of aresidence permit.

- Over capacity also occurred in Malaysian prisons. Based on thedata, there are 10 prisons are over capacity. These conditions canbe seen in the following table:



- Currently Malaysia is completing the construction and renovation ofprisons with modern building and using high technology. Thefollowing projects and target completion is:

-



- Prisons in Malaysia also have problems and challenges, as follows:1. Overcrowding 2. Influx of Foreign Inmates 3. Contrabands

4. Death in Custody 5. Infectious Diseases 6. Mentally Unstable Inmates 7. Staff Discipline .

- In terms of handling juvenile, Malaysia has a special institutioncalled Henry Gunrey School as much as 3 institutions. In this schoolthey are required to attend school for a period of criminal. To avoidthe stigma, the children is called a student not an inmates. Whenthe students released from school they are free to move on toschools outside without discrimination.

- In the case of inmate drug rehabilitation, Malaysia has a specialdrug rehabilitation institutions as much as 5 institutions. One of theinstitutions visited were Jelebu Drug Rehabilitation Institution inJelebu, Negeri Sembilan. Rehabilitation methods that do more orless the same as that done in some special narcotics prisons inIndonesia, namely using the Therapeutic Community (TC). Thereare differences in the application of the TC method in Indonesia, inMalaysia the TC method is only given to non-Moslem inmates,while Moslem inmates are given Halaqah method, the method ofrehabilitation that incorporate elements of Islamic religiouseducation.

- With regard to the management of prisons, we see there are somedifferent things with Indonesia and can be used as a reference or agood example to be implemented in the management of prisons inIndonesia. These things are as follows:1. Visiting Program

Visiting program in Malaysia Prison is not done directly butthrough a room divider and use the phone for communication.

The program is given according to the stages of coachingfollowed. Provision of visits is determined by the development oftheir behavior during the development activities. So thats way



there is no crowds of visitors every day because every personhas time and day of each visit.

2. Implementation of Free Circulation of Money (BPU)

In Indonesia, we know the implementation of Free Circulation ofMoney (BPU) was performed using a coupon, savings booksand now using E-Money. In Malaysia, the implementation of theFree Circulation of Money (BPU) is not only performed by usingthe Card (cad) in lieu of money, but also the restriction andprohibition for officers to carry cash to the residential block area.Then there are no canteens in the area of residential blocks,inmates are only allowed to consume food / drink provided bythe prison. Canteen is only found in public areas (in IndonesiaBuilding I), where families who visit are required to shop there ifthey want to provide extra food for the inmates.In other words, the free circulation of money in prison Malaysiamade against officers.

Description : Box where the officer can recharge the card with a certainnominal amount and limited.

3. Security SystemSecurity system with a high-tech approach found in PenjaraSungai Udang, Malacca. In this prison security system usingElectronic Security System (ESS); where safeguards against allthings that are in prison using integrated electronic systems.



However, in other prisons in Malaysia are still using the oldbuilding there is a security infrastructure that we think is simplebut has a good security function. This means we think is can beheld in prisons / detention centers in Indonesia. The means isthe mirror placed on the floor and above the main gate (inIndonesian P2U). These tools facilitate the checking of anyvehicles that enter and exit from the prison / detention center.

4. Basic Needs (Uniforms and Food)

In terms of fulfilling one of the basic needs of prisoners areuniform and food made a rule that inmates are not allowed tobring or wear items / personal belongings. all the things thatused to be provided by the prison.Especially for inmate uniform all determined in accordance withthe type/category of inmate is concerned.



Finally, that is our experience in MTCP 2014 that we can share onthis occasion. We hope it may be useful for the reader to developmentorganizations, especially in the field of juvenile rehabilitation andmanagement development prisons / detention centers in general.
