Community Service Order and Its Urgency to Reduce the Negative Impact of Imprisonment

摘要

Imprisonment convicts which dominated the strategy of fostering prisoners in institutions (institutional based correction) from the end of the 18th century, have been criticized by various groups. The pros and cons of using it as a result of the complexity of its negative effects is increasingly widespread. Community service order exists as an alternative to imprisonment to reduce these negative effects. Carrying a large theme on community service order and its urgency in reducing the negative impact of imprisonment, this paper will discuss two issues: First, what are the negative impacts arising from the application of imprisonment? Second, to what extent does community service order have the relevance of reducing the negative impact of imprisonment? Through doctrinal analysis with qualitative analysis the following findings were obtained: First, there were so many negative impacts arising from the application of imprisonment which resulted in very complex follow-up impacts, namely stigmatization, dehumanization, and imprisonment. Second, because the community service order is essentially a sanctions outside the institution, the community service order is very relevant to reduce the negative impact of the application of sanctions in the institution (imprsonment).
