Head of the Bali Regional Office of Ditjenpas, Decky Nurmansyah, stated in his report that remission is a right granted to inmates and juvenile offenders who have met the legal requirements in accordance with prevailing laws and regulations. He emphasized that remission also serves as recognition of good behavior and successful participation in rehabilitation programs.

“This remission is not merely a reduction of sentence, but also a way to enhance national awareness, civic responsibility, and strengthen the values of nationalism,” he said.

Overall, the total number of correctional residents in Bali currently stands at 4,654 individuals, consisting of 1,031 detainees and 3,623 convicted inmates.

Of the total recipients, 1,081 inmates received Special Remission I, which reduces part of their sentence, while 2 inmates were granted Special Remission II, allowing them to be immediately released upon receiving the remission. Additionally, 6 juvenile offenders were granted a Special Sentence Reduction (PMPK).

Based on available data, the majority of remission recipients are Indonesian nationals, totaling 1,084 individuals, comprising 1,011 men and 73 women. Meanwhile, 6 foreign nationals—all male—were also recorded as recipients of remission.

The implementation of this remission refers to Law Number 22 of 2022 on Corrections, Presidential Decree Number 174 of 1999 on Remission, and several ministerial decrees issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Immigration and Corrections in 2026.

The Bali Regional Office of Ditjenpas oversees 11 technical units, consisting of 6 correctional institutions, 4 state detention centers, and 1 juvenile rehabilitation facility.

With the granting of this remission, authorities hope that inmates will be further motivated to maintain good behavior and be better prepared to reintegrate into society after completing their sentences.
