Abstract
This paper aims to analyze whether conditional release for prisoners during the Covid-19 pandemic is considered effective so that prisoners do not repeat crimes. This type of research is normative by using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data used is secondary data obtained through library research. All data collected were then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that parole for prisoners during the Covid-19 pandemic was ineffective. This is because some prisoners who received assimilation and integration rights (parole, pre-release leave, conditional leave) have repeated their actions or committed crimes and have to undergo legal processes. The ineffectiveness of parole during the corona pandemic was influenced by several factors, including the assessment before release by careless officers, as well as weak supervision for prisoners undergoing assimilation and integration rights by the government.
