Criminal Law Policy in Efforts to Extend Detention at the Cassation Level in Future Positive Law
Abstract
A first-instance court decision in Indonesia does not have permanent legal force as long as further legal remedies, such as cassation, are still available. The practice of detaining defendants during the cassation process raises legal issues related to legal certainty, the protection of human rights, and the consistency of decision enforcement. The absence of provisions in the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) regarding the limits of sentences during enforcement cassation creates uncertainty, particularly concerning the detention status of defendants who are released by operation of law while cassation proceedings are ongoing. Additionally, there is a lack of coordination among the Prosecutor's Office, correctional institutions, and the Supreme Court, resulting in misalignment in the implementation of decisions, extensions of detention, and the authority to execute judgments. This study focuses on two main issues: first, the current criminal law policy regarding the extension of detention at the cassation stage; and second, the ideal criminal law policy in the context of detention extension in the future.
