            <abstract>
                <p>Child protection is essential because children are
                the most vulnerable members of society, and they
                can live in peace. Children who are neglected by
                their families or society will be disrupted in their
                growth and development, both physically,
                mentally, and socially. This study aims to analyze
                the implementation of the rights of Children in
                the Face of the Law (ABH) in the Cirebon Class
                1A State Prison. This study uses a normative
                juridical approach. Data was collected through a
                literature study of the Law and interviews with
                Cirebon Class IA State Prison officers. The
                study's findings show that several rights of
                Children in Conflict with the Law (ABH) have
                been met, including services such as decent food,
                bedding, worship, and legal assistance, as well as
                health care, informal education, and guidance.
                However, the right to training is still not
                optimally fulfilled due to the limitations of
                available facilities and programs. Implementing
                the SPPA Law is very important to ensure
                humane treatment, access to education, and skills
                training for ABH. This research emphasizes the
                need to improve facilities and develop training
                programs to support the development of ABH
                during the detention period. Law Number 11 of
                2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice
                System, which guarantees humane treatment and
                access to education and skills training for ABH,
                must be implemented to the maximum extent.</p>

      <title>INTRODUCTION</title>
      <p>A child is someone who is not yet 18 (eighteen) years old,
  including a child who is still living in his parents' house. A child
  is the generation that builds and succeeds the nation, or a generation
  that is seen as the subject of a development project that stretches in
  the history of a country and not specifically Indonesia. According to
  R.A Kosnan &quot;children are young human beings at a young age in
  their soul and life journey because they are easily influenced by the
  surrounding circumstances (Koesnan, 2005). Children need to be taken
  seriously. In order for a child to grow up to be a useful person, the
  rights inherent in him must be upheld and protected. Child protection
  is essential because children are the most vulnerable members of
  society and they have the ability to live in peace. Children who are
  neglected by their families or society will be disrupted in their
  growth and development both physically, mentally and socially (Ghifari
  &amp; Subekti, 2022). Child protection in this way is one of the
  components of the implementation of Human Rights. The form of
  protection for children in conflict with the law is reflected in the
  basis of the enactment of the Law on the juvenile justice system,
  which includes the principle of interest for children, the principle
  of deprivation of independence and the rule of law as a last resort;
  and the principle of avoidance of retaliation (Article 2 of Law No. 11
  of 2012) (Waluyadi &amp; Kartina, 2021).</p>
      <p>In the development of the application of criminal law in Indonesia,
  the existence of children who commit crimes or criminal acts, commonly
  known as &quot;children&quot;, is still processed legally. This
  happens because the child's crime has caused losses to other parties
  both materially and live. However, on the other hand, law enforcement
  against child crimes poses problems because the perpetrators of the
  crime are children who are legally incompetent. Thus, it can be said
  that law enforcement to children sometimes ignores the age limit of
  children (Yusuf, 2022).</p>
      <p>Seeing the increase and spread of factors that affect child crime,
  the punishment of children must be adjusted to existing social
  conditions. Therefore, the implementation of Law Number 11 of 2012
  concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System is a fairly
  comprehensive legal step, by paying attention to the psychological
  aspects and psychological development of children who live in an era
  of globalization that is increasingly irregular in terms of morality.
  Children are not to be punished but must be given guidance and
  coaching, so that they can grow and develop as normal children who are
  healthy and fully intelligent. Children as prospective generations of
  the nation's next generation who are still in the period of physical
  and mental development. Children are not to be punished but must be
  given guidance and coaching, so that they can grow and develop as
  normal children who are healthy and fully intelligent. Children as the
  future generation of the nation who are still in the period of
  physical and mental development (Yusuf, 2022).</p>
      <p>The most basic essence of children is the right to the family
  environment, alternative parenting, basic health, welfare, education,
  the use of free time, and cultural activities and protection of
  children. The fulfillment of children's rights is the foundation and
  capital of children as the buds of the nation that have</p>
      <p>potential and the younger generation to succeed the ideals of the
  nation's struggle to participate in building Indonesia into a
  sovereign, advanced, just and prosperous country. Therefore, there
  should not be a child who is neglected in obtaining his rights
  wherever he is, and no matter his condition, including children with
  disabilities or children who are facing the law/criminal children
  because these children also have the same rights in various fields of
  life, as the next generation of the nation, children must be given the
  widest opportunity to get their rights, including in this case
  correctional students. If the rights of the child are not fulfilled,
  then the growth and development and universal rights of the child have
  also been determined through the United Nations General Assembly
  (hereinafter abbreviated as the United Nations) on November 20, 1959,
  by proclaiming the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, with which
  the declaration is expected of all parties, both individuals, parents,
  social organizations, governments and communities, to recognize the
  rights of the child and encourage their implementation. The ten
  principles of children's rights according to the declaration are:</p>
      <list list-type="order">
        <list-item>
          <p>First principle: Every child shall enjoy all the rights
      enumerated in this declaration without exception, without
      distinction, and discrimination;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>The second principle: Every child should enjoy special
      protection, should be given opportunities and facilities by law or
      by other tools so that they are able to develop physically,
      mentally, morally, spiritually, and socially in a healthy and
      normal manner;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>Third principle: Every child from birth must have a name and
      national identity;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>The fourth principle: every child must enjoy the benefits of
      social security;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>Fifth principle: Every child with a physical, mental, and
      social disability must be given special treatment, education, and
      maintenance according to his or her condition;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>Sixth principle: Every child for his full and balanced personal
      development needs affection and attention;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>The seventh principle: Every child must receive education for
      free and on the basis of compulsory learning;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>Eighth principle: Every child in any situation should receive
      the first protection and assistance;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>Ninth principle: Every child must be protected from every form
      of neglect, acts of violence, and exploitation;</p>
        </list-item>
        <list-item>
          <p>Tenth principle: Every child should be protected from any
      practice of discrimination based on race, religion, and other
      forms of discrimination (Loppies et al., 2024).</p>
        </list-item>
      </list>
      <p>Regardless of its relation to the implementation of obligations
  that have been guaranteed through law or regulation. The fulfillment
  of child protection rights is very important to understand and carry
  out to ensure that children can grow and develop optimally. The
  importance of understanding and implementing the fulfillment of
  children's rights is the main foundation to ensure that every child
  has optimal opportunities in the process of growing and</p>
      <p>developing. The obligation to fulfill the rights of the child is
  inclusive, without exception, with reference to the fundamental
  principles of the child's rights, such as non-discrimination, emphasis
  on the best interests of the child, guarantee of survival and
  development, and respect for the opinion of the child (Apriarso et
  al., 2023).</p>
      <p>Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice
  System regulates the entire process of resolving child cases that are
  in conflict with the law, starting from the investigation stage to the
  guidance stage after serving a sentence. The purpose of the Child
  Criminal Justice System with an important individual development
  paradigm is to emphasize the problems faced by the perpetrator, not on
  the deeds/losses that result.</p>
      <p>The imposition of sanctions in the juvenile criminal justice system
  with the paradigm of individual development, is irrelevant, incidental
  and generally inappropriate (Pramukti &amp; Primaharsy1, 2018) . This
  study aims to analyze the fulfillment of the rights of Children Facing
  the Law (ABH) in the Cirebon Class 1A State Prison.</p>

        <title>Review I</title>
        <p>This study analyzes the fulfillment of the rights of children
    detained in the Class II B Serang Detention Center (Rutan). The
    focus of this study is on the rights that must be fulfilled for
    children involved in legal matters, in accordance with the
    provisions of Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal
    Justice System. The results of the study show that the Class II B
    Serang Detention Center has tried to fulfill the basic rights of
    detained children, such as the right to live, develop, get
    protection, and participate. However, the implementation of programs
    that support the fulfillment of children's rights still needs to be
    improved. Law Number 11 of 2012 emphasizes the importance of
    restorative justice and diversion approaches to prevent children
    from becoming entangled in the conventional justice process and
    avoid negative stigma. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
    also serves as an important basis for protecting children in special
    situations, including those facing the law. The fulfillment of the
    rights of detained children is the responsibility of the state,
    which must be realized through humane treatment, the provision of
    special escort officers, adequate facilities, and the protection of
    their identity from the news (Ghifari &amp; Subekti, 2022).</p>

      <sec id="review-ii">
        <title>Review II</title>
        <p>This study aims to evaluate the fulfillment of children's rights
    in detention centers, especially in Depok Class I Prison. The
    research method used is empirical juridical, which involves data
    analysis through interviews and observations. The findings of the
    study show that the rights of detained children have not been fully
    fulfilled, especially in the aspects of education, health, and
    activities that are still far from ideal standards. This situation
    is exacerbated by the number of detainees that exceed capacity and
    lack of adequate staff, which hinders supervision and child
    development, coupled with the absence of a Special Child Development
    Institution (LPKA) in the Depok area. Legal</p>
        <p>protection for detained children is regulated in various laws and
    regulations, including Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Child
    Criminal Justice System and Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child
    Protection. The principles of child protection include
    non-discrimination, the best interests of the child, the right to
    life, survival, development, and respect for the child's
    opinion.</p>
        <p>Coaching for children in detention must be based on societal
    principles, such as providing life skills, avoiding torture,
    providing guidance, and not separating them from society (Akbar,
    2023).</p>

      <p>This study uses the normative juridical approach method. The data
  used are secondary data as the main data and also primary data as
  supporting data. The data collection technique was carried out by
  means of literature study for secondary data and interviews for
  primary data. Data collection techniques include literature studies to
  analyze the SPPA Law, academic journals, and legal literature to
  understand the applicable regulatory framework, as well as interviews
  with prison officers as primary data sources to obtain information
  about the implementation of the SPPA Law in practice, including
  obstacles and challenges faced in the field. This approach aims to
  comprehensively understand the legal framework that governs the
  juvenile criminal justice system as well as policies related to the

      <title>RESEARCH RESULT AND DISCUSSION</title>
      <p>Based on the results of the research carried out on Tuesday, March
  25, 2025 at the State Prison (Rutan) Class 1A Cirebon with Mr. Ahmad
  Khodri, A.Ma.Pust, S.H, Head of the Legal Aid and Counseling
  Sub-Section. The following are some of the conditions of Child
  Detention in Class IA Cirebon Detention Center (Rutan) based on the
  fulfillment of their rights:</p>
      <sec id="the-right-to-receive-services">
        <title>The Right to Receive Services</title>
        <p>The results of the study show that the services of child
    prisoners in detention centers, from admission to discharge, include
    the fulfillment of basic rights such as food, decent beds, worship,
    and legal assistance, although formal education rights such as
    school packages are still not available due to the short prison
    period. Socialization of rights is carried out during registration
    by providing information about rights and obligations. The right to
    education is difficult to fulfill due to limited space and time, so
    further education is only obtained at LPKA or LPAS. The complaint
    mechanism is available through the complaint box and the receipt of
    direct complaints by officers. Humane treatment is sought by placing
    separate rooms from adult prisoners and regular gathering
    activities. Positive activities include informal and religious
    education. Food is well distributed and health services are
    adequate. Interaction of officers is carried out through a special
    approach, and mandatory legal assistance from Bapas. Social worker
    and psychologist services are routinely provided. Communication with
    families is facilitated, and the opinions of child prisoners are
    heard. Child prisoners generally feel well treated, despite
    complaints about food variations. So far there have been no cases of
    violence. What is good is the feeding and</p>
        <disp-quote>
          <p>placement of rooms, but it needs to be improved with a special
      block for children. Placement in Detention Center due to LPAS
      limitations. The SPPA Law applies if there is an LPAS, and
      coordination with LPAS is carried out during the transfer.</p>
        </disp-quote>
        <p>Children have the right to adequate services, both physical and
    mental. As stated in Law Number 22 OF 2022, service is an activity
    that is held to provide protection and fulfillment of rights for
    Prisoners and Children in the judicial process. The SPPA Law allows
    children involved in criminal acts to receive legal aid regardless
    of the type of criminal act that has been committed. Based on
    Article 4 of Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections, the
    implementation of services is one of the functions of correctional
    services that is parallel to other functions, namely the function of
    fostering inmates and other functions of correctional (Afrizal et
    al., 2024).</p>
        <p>Children have the right to receive legal assistance at every
    stage of examination, including the stages of investigation,
    investigation, prosecution, and examination in court. The child who
    is a witness or victim must be accompanied by a parent, guardian,
    person trusted by the child, or social worker during each stage of
    the examination. However, if the child's parents are the
    perpetrators of a criminal act, then the parents or guardians are
    not required to accompany them (Afrizal et al.,
    2024)<bold>.</bold>

        <title>The Right to Treatment</title>
        <p>In the interview, he explained that the prison has provided
    health services for child prisoners to ensure their physical
    condition is maintained during the detention period. This service
    includes regular health check-ups performed by medical
    professionals. Each child prisoner has access to a polyclinic, where
    doctors and other health workers are available to provide medical
    care as needed. This health examination includes disease screening,
    administration of medications, and treatment of certain medical
    conditions that may be experienced by child prisoners.</p>
        <p>The right of child detainees to receive health care is regulated
    in various national regulations, such as Law Number 11 of 2012
    concerning the Child Criminal Justice System and Law Number 22 of
    2022 concerning Corrections. Article 3 of the SPPA Law emphasizes
    the importance of routine health maintenance for children in the
    criminal justice system. In addition, Government Regulation Number
    58 of 1999 Article 9 also states that every prisoner has the right
    to receive physical and spiritual care through proper health
    services.</p>
        <p>With adequate health services, the prison strives to ensure that
    every child prisoner receives the humane treatment and medical
    support they need to undergo the coaching process properly. However,
    challenges such as limited medical facilities and health workers are
    still obstacles in the optimal implementation of these rights on the
    ground.</p>
        <p>The fulfillment of children's prisoners' right to health care is
    a fundamental aspect that supports their physical and mental
    well-being while in the criminal justice system. Children facing the
    law often face health risks due to a less-than-ideal detention
    environment, so it is important to ensure access to adequate health
    services (Tarwiyah et al., 2024).</p>
        <p>The results of the research carried out at the State Prison
    (Rutan) Class 1A Cirebon show that health services for child
    prisoners have generally complied with existing laws and
    regulations, although there are several challenges in its
    implementation.</p>
        <p>According to Article 21 of Government Regulation Number 58 of
    1999, every prisoner has the right to receive adequate health
    services, including access to polyclinics and health workers such as
    doctors and nurses. In the interview<bold>,</bold> it was explained
    that the detention center provides regular health check-ups by
    competent medical personnel, which includes disease screening,
    medication administration, and treatment of certain medical
    conditions. This is in line with the provisions of the
    regulation.</p>

      <sec id="the-right-to-education-and-training">
        <title>The Right to Education and Training</title>
        <p>In an interview, he explained that in the aspect of education,
    child prisoners in the Cirebon Class 1A Prison receive learning
    which is carried out twice a week, namely every Monday and Tuesday.
    The material taught includes learning English, managing emotions,
    and reading and writing. This program aims to improve the academic
    and emotional skills of child prisoners so that they can continue to
    get the right to education even while in custody. This activity is
    carried out in a structured manner with guidance from educators or
    competent parties. In addition, even though there are educational
    programs running, skills training activities are still in a vacuum
    because they are not part of the field currently handled by the
    resource persons.</p>

        <p>Children are the most valuable asset of the state, the next
    generation who will lead and shape the future of the country.
    Therefore, education is their human right and it is the
    responsibility of the state to fulfill it. Education is the process
    of forming an individual's character and identity. Therefore, it is
    very important to understand that education can and should start
    with children.</p>
        <p>In Indonesia, education for the fulfillment of children's rights
    to confront (conflict) with the law has been regulated in various
    laws and regulations. Some</p>
        <p>laws and regulations that can be used as a legal basis in efforts
    to foster and educate children who are in conflict with the law
    are:</p>
        <list list-type="order">
          <list-item>
            <p>Law Number 12 of 1995 which explains the rights of prisoners,
        one of which is explained is the right to be guaranteed to get
        education and teaching.</p>
          </list-item>
          <list-item>
            <p>Law Number 3 of 1997 which contains the Indonesian Children's
        Court. In Chapter IV article 33 explains about Community
        Officers who have a role in the child development process,
        including; community counselors and professionals such as social
        workers and psychologists. Coaching for children is carried out
        for the sake of survival, physical, mental, social and child
        protection.</p>
          </list-item>
          <list-item>
            <p>Law Number 23 of 2002 which explains child protection,
        explains that every child is guaranteed to obtain education and
        teaching for the personal development of children and also the
        development of interests and talents. So the right to access
        education must be obtained for children even though they are in
        prison which will later be used as a provision after they leave
        the Children's Prison.</p>
          </list-item>
        </list>
        <p>Various regulations show the importance of education for children
    because with education children are not only taught and educated to
    be smart and clever, but education means fostering good ethics in
    children so that in the future children can live their lives well
    and become civilized and dignified human beings (Fikrina, 2023).</p>
        <p>Education should be provided to every child without
    discrimination, whether for children in general, children with
    special needs, or children involved in legal proceedings. This is a
    commitment from the state and in accordance with the agreement in
    the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which affirms that the
    education provided to children aims to humanize the individual. The
    quality of education is very important, especially for children
    facing the law (ABH), as their preparation before returning to
    society (Ferdiawa et al., 2020).</p>
        <p>In accordance with the description above, it can be concluded
    that laws and regulations have clearly regulated the granting of
    rights to prisoners, especially in this context the right to
    education and teaching for child prisoners in the Cirebon Class 1A
    State Prison (Rutan). The implementation of the right to education
    for juvenile prisoners in detention centers is carried out through
    various learning programs, such as basic education that includes
    reading, writing, and English, as well as religious guidance that is
    provided regularly. However, there are various challenges in
    fulfilling it, especially because the rutan is not a place for
    long-term coaching and the limited facilities available. Further
    education for child prisoners is still highly dependent on
    cooperation with external parties, such as the Community Learning
    Activity Center (PKBM), and its implementation has not been fully
    optimal. In addition, the temporary status of child custody before
    being transferred to the Special Children's Development Institution
    (LPKA) is also a factor that affects the continuity of their
    education.</p>
      </sec>
      <sec id="right-to-guidance-and-assistance">
        <title>Right to Guidance and Assistance</title>
        <p>In the interview, Mr. Ahmad Khodri explained that the prison
    provides special assistance services for child prisoners in order to
    maintain the stability of</p>
        <p>their mental and emotional state during the detention period.
    Child prisoners have access to psychological services provided
    regularly by professionals, such as psychologists or counselors who
    work with correctional facilities. This assistance is carried out in
    the form of individual and group counseling sessions, which aim to
    help children in dealing with psychological pressure, managing
    emotions, and developing a more positive mindset. In addition, in
    certain cases that require special attention, child prisoners can be
    given more intensive assistance in order to receive treatment that
    is appropriate to their mental condition.</p>
        <p>As part of rehabilitation efforts, the prison also holds
    motivation and mental coaching activities that are carried out every
    week. This activity involves lectures, group discussions, and
    interaction sessions with community leaders or spiritual companions
    to build the spirit and confidence of child prisoners. With adequate
    psychological and mentoring services, the prison strives to ensure
    that every child prisoner not only gets the proper treatment, but
    also the mental support they need to undergo the coaching process
    properly. The law that regulates the fulfillment of the rights of
    child custody in terms of obtaining psychological assistance and
    services is Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal
    Justice System. Article 22 of this law emphasizes the importance of
    psychological assistance for children facing the law, to ensure they
    receive protection, coaching, and rehabilitation that is in
    accordance with their psychological needs during the judicial
    process and the detention period.</p>
        <p>A companion is a person who is trusted by the child to accompany
    him or her during the trial. This assistance is part of the
    protection of children who violate the law in court, so that
    children's rights can be realized legally. The main purpose of the
    examination of children is to ensure the protection and guarantee
    the fulfillment of children's rights in the judicial process and to
    prevent violations against children in accordance with Article 23
    paragraph (1) of the Law on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System No.
    11 of 2012. Proper guidance can provide a strong foundation to
    return and lead children to a good future for themselves as someone
    who is responsible for the life of the family, nation, and country
    so as not to repeat acts that violate laws and regulations (Sinjo,
    2024).</p>
        <p>The fulfillment of the rights of child detention in terms of
    guidance and assistance in the detention center is in line with the
    provisions stipulated in the applicable law, in particular:</p>
        <list list-type="order">
            <list-item>

            </list-item>
        </list>
        <p>Overall, the practice of mentoring and mentoring child prisoners
    at the Cirebon Class 1A State Prison has reflected the principles of
    child protection, rehabilitation, and the best interests of
    children, as mandated in laws and regulations.</p>

      <title>CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS</title>
      <p>The Cirebon Class 1A State Prison (Rutan) has made efforts to
  fulfill the rights of children facing the law (ABH) in terms of
  services. This service includes meeting basic needs such as proper
  food, adequate beds, worship facilities, and legal assistance that are
  important to them. Socialization about prisoners' rights is also
  carried out during the registration process, providing information
  about their rights and obligations while in prison.</p>
      <p>However, there are several challenges that need to be overcome.
  Formal education rights such as school packages are not yet fully
  available due to time constraints and relatively short detention
  periods. This makes it difficult for children to get a continuous
  education while in Rutan. The fulfillment of this right requires
  further attention so that children still have the opportunity to
  develop themselves and obtain a proper education.</p>
      <p>A complaint mechanism has been provided through complaint boxes and
  direct acceptance by officers, but its effectiveness needs to be
  improved. It is important for children to have an easily accessible
  and responsive channel in conveying any complaints or problems they
  are facing. Humane treatment is sought by placing children in separate
  rooms from adult prisoners and holding positive routine activities.
  Overall, the Cirebon Class 1A Detention Center has shown a commitment
  to providing adequate services for ABH, although there are still
  several aspects that need to be improved. Ongoing efforts to improve
  existing facilities and programs will ensure that children's rights
  are better met, thereby supporting their rehabilitation and
  reintegration into society.</p>
      <p>The conclusion of the research conducted at the State Detention
  Center (Rutan) Class 1A Cirebon shows that the health rights for
  detained children have been fulfilled in accordance with the
  provisions of the applicable law. The available health services
  include regular health check-ups, access to polyclinics, and necessary
  medical treatment, all regulated in Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning
  the Juvenile Criminal Justice System and Government Regulation Number
  58 of 1999. Although the existing health services are quite adequate,
  there are still some challenges in their implementation, such as
  limited medical facilities and the number of available health workers.
  Therefore, efforts to improve the provision of health services must
  continue to be made so that every child in detention receives the
  humane treatment and medical support necessary during the period of
  detention.</p>
      <p>In an effort to fulfill the right to education and training for
  child prisoners, the Cirebon Class 1A Prison has held a learning
  program that is held twice a week. The material taught includes
  English, emotion management, and reading. The program aims to improve
  the academic and emotional skills of child prisoners, giving them the
  opportunity to retain the right to education despite being in
  custody.</p>
      <p>This activity is carried out in a structured manner with guidance
  from educators or competent parties. The table of education
  implementation in the Cirebon Class 1A Detention Center shows a
  commitment to providing orderly and directed learning. Even though
  there are educational programs running, skills training activities are
  still a vacuum because they are not part of the field that is
  currently handled by the resource persons.</p>
      <p>Education is a very important human right for children, because it
  is the process of forming an individual's character and identity. In
  accordance with Article 12 of Law No. 39 of 1999 concerning Human
  Rights, everyone has the right to protection for his personal
  development, to obtain education, educate himself, and improve his
  quality of life.</p>
      <p>However, there are various challenges in fulfilling it, especially
  because Rutan is not a place for long-term coaching and the limited
  facilities available. Further education for child prisoners is still
  highly dependent on cooperation with external parties, such as the
  Community Learning Activity Center (PKBM), and its implementation has
  not been fully optimal. In addition, the temporary status of child
  detention before being transferred to the Special Children's
  Development Institution (LPKA) is also a factor that affects their
  educational continuity.</p>
      <p>The fulfillment of children's rights, especially related to
  guidance and assistance at the Cirebon Class 1A State Detention
  Center, has been in accordance with the provisions stipulated in laws
  and regulations, especially Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Child
  Criminal Justice System and Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child
  Protection. The implementation of services such as counseling,
  separation of detention rooms from adults, and the presence of
  companions in the legal process reflect real efforts in upholding the
  principles of humane treatment, rehabilitative approaches, and
  prioritizing the best interests of children. Even though the
  implementation has led to good practices, it is necessary to conduct
  periodic evaluations to ensure that the services provided remain of
  quality and sustainability.</p>
      <sec id="implication">
        <title>Implication</title>
        <p>This research has significant implications for practices and
    policies in the handling of Children Facing the Law (ABH),
    especially in the Cirebon Class IA State Prison (Rutan). The results
    of this study emphasize the importance of improving the
    implementation of the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law (SPPA
    Law) as a whole. This includes ensuring that all the rights of the
    child, as provided for in the law, are properly fulfilled during the
    period of detention. Attention must be paid to the fulfillment of
    basic needs, education, health, and protection from all forms of
    violence and discrimination. Furthermore, this study shows the need
    for closer cooperation between various parties involved in the</p>
        <p>juvenile criminal justice system. This includes prisons,
    government agencies, civil society organizations, and children's
    families. Effective cooperation will ensure that children receive
    holistic and integrated support, from the legal process to
    rehabilitation and social reintegration. Programs designed should
    consider the individual needs of the child and focus on the recovery
    and development of their potential. In addition, this study
    emphasizes the importance of increasing the capacity and awareness
    of prison officers regarding children's rights and judicial
    principles from a child's perspective. Ongoing training and
    effective socialization will help create a more child-friendly
    environment in State Detention Centers (Rutan), where children are
    treated with respect, fairness, and humanity. Thus, the
    implementation of the SPPA Law can run more optimally and have a
    positive impact on the welfare and future of children who are faced
    with the law.</p>

      <title>ADVANCED RESEARCH</title>
      <p>The findings from the Cirebon Class 1A State Detention Center
  demonstrate a commitment to fulfilling the rights of children in
  conflict with the law, particularly in terms of health services,
  education, and humane treatment. However, several areas require deeper
  exploration to enhance the quality and sustainability of these
  efforts. Future research should investigate the effectiveness and
  long-term impact of limited educational programs provided in
  detention, especially given the constraints of short detention periods
  and limited cooperation with external educational institutions such as
  PKBM. Additionally, the development and implementation of vocational
  training programs remain an open area for improvement and
  research.</p>
      <p>Further study is also needed on the accessibility and
  responsiveness of the existing complaint mechanisms to ensure
  children's voices are adequately heard and addressed. The availability
  and quality of healthcare services should be continuously assessed,
  especially in relation to medical staffing and facilities. Research
  can also explore strategies for improving coordination between
  detention centers and Special Children's Development Institutions
  (LPKA) to ensure continuity in rehabilitation and education. Finally,
  evaluating the impact of current counseling and legal assistance
  services on children's psychological well-being and reintegration into
  society could provide critical insights for policy improvement.</p>
