Depok — The Class I Depok State Detention Center has intensified its focus on inmate development by organizing a collaborative legal counseling session with the Depok branch leadership council of the Indonesian Advocates Association. The event, aimed at enhancing legal literacy for prisoners, detainees, and minors, was held at the Depok Detention Center Community Hall on Thursday.

The event was opened by the Head of the Detainee Services Section, who emphasized the importance of legal education as a fundamental part of the rehabilitation process.

“Understanding the law is a crucial part of the rehabilitation process, so they can better comprehend their rights, obligations, and the legal proceedings they are undergoing,” he stated. He also appreciated the consistency of the Indonesian Advocates Association in supporting this effort.

Legal Literacy as Preparation for Freedom

This counseling was attended by 60 participants from various categories of inmates. The Depok branch team of the Indonesian Advocates Association presented essential material covering legal basics, court procedures, the right to legal aid, and the importance of legal awareness in life.

The counseling atmosphere was interactive and fluid. Participants actively asked questions about the legal issues they face, showing high enthusiasm for gaining clarity.

Through this strategic collaboration, the Depok Detention Center hopes that inmates will not only be morally strengthened but also equipped with strong legal literacy.

“Through this collaboration, we hope the inmates are not only morally rehabilitated but also possess strong legal literacy as preparation for returning to society,” he concluded, emphasizing that legal knowledge is the key to a better life after release.
