TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Minister of Law and Human Rights, Agus Andrianto, claimed that the granting of remission on Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr in 2025 has the potential to save the government's spending by up to Rp 81 billion.
The granting of remission on Nyepi is claimed to save meal expenses for inmates amounting to Rp804,525,000. Meanwhile, the granting of remission on Eid al-Fitr is claimed to save meal expenses for inmates amounting to Rp80,460,405,000.
Agus emphasized that the granting of remission is a form of honoring the rights of Inmates. According to him, the remission serves as motivation for inmates to continue improving themselves in order to realize restorative justice focused on rehabilitation. "Remission also reduces overcrowding, leading to an improvement in the services and rehabilitation of inmates," he said in an official statement on Friday, March 28, 2025.
On Nyepi, remission was granted to 1,629 inmates and 12 inmates of Hindu faith. The number of inmates granted a reduction in their sentence is 1,609, while the number of inmates directly released after receiving remission is 20. The remission will be valid during the celebration of Nyepi in 1947 Saka, which falls on March 29, 2025.
As for Eid al-Fitr, a total of 154,170 Muslim inmates received a reduction in their sentence. Additionally, 908 inmates were released after receiving remission. The number of underage inmates who received a reduction in sentence is 1,214, and those released after remission are 20. This remission will be valid on Eid al-Fitr in 1446 Hijriah, with the date to be determined by the government.
The Minister congratulated all inmates and underage inmates who received remission. "Let this blessing serve as a reminder to control your desires and not to fall into the same mistakes," he said.
The statutory provisions for the granting of remission and reduction of sentences are regulated in Law Number 22 of 2022 on Penitentiary. Furthermore, Government Regulation Number 99 of 2012 stipulates that inmates who receive remission must have served a sentence of more than six months, while underage inmates who receive a reduction in their sentence must have served a sentence of more than three months.
