Abstract

It is crucial to ensure that the rights of prisoners are respected, protected, and considered, especially for prisoners who are minors. This is in accordance with Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Justice System, which stipulates that children who commit criminal acts will have their own justice system, distinct from the general judicial system. This research employs normative legal research methods or library research methods. In cases involving minors, efforts should be made to avoid court proceedings, one of which is restorative justice. Through restorative justice, it is hoped that children will not be imprisoned and will not lose their future, allowing them to live their lives as they should, like most children their age.
