How is capital punishment (the death penalty) structurally reformed under the new Indonesian Criminal Code (Law No. 1/2023)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Imposed as an Alternative Sentence Subject to a 10-Year Probationary Commutation Period
- Step 1: Under Article 100 of the new KUHP, the death penalty is no longer a primary punishment (pidana pokok), but a special alternative sanction. Step 2. Convicts receive a 10-year probationary period (masa percobaan 10 tahun); if they show remorse and good behavior, the sentence may be commuted to life imprisonment. Answer: Imposed as an Alternative Sentence Subject to a 10-Year Probationary Commutation Period. Why not the others: Capital punishment was not unconditionally abolished.
