The Role of Doctors in Drug Administration and the Execution of Penal Death

Abstract

Although until now Indonesia still applies capital punishment, efforts to limit its application are still being
made, including improving the procedures for its implementation. One way to ensure that the execution of
the death penalty is still carried out with respect for life is to involve doctors in treatment and the execution
of the death penalty. In addition, in the reform of Indonesian criminal law (Draft KUHP), a policy for
postponing death penalty has been formulated. Those sentenced to death are given the opportunity to improve
themselves for a certain time (10 years). If within the grace period the convict can show improvement in
himself, then the death penalty need not be carried out and replaced with deprivation of liberty.
