Criminalization in Indonesia has changed its philosophy from "prison" to "correctional". Unfortunately, in practice, it has not much changed. Corrections still cannot be called rehabilitative because of problems such as overstaying, high recidivism rates, overcrowded, riots in prisons and jails, frequent prison escapes, narcotics transactions in prisons, to illegal levies. To overcome this, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights then came up with the idea of "Revitalization of the Correctional System", through Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regulation Number 35 Year 2018. The revitalization prioritizes changes in the behavior of inmates and turn overcrowding as the opportunity to create superior human resources through four stages: super maximum security, maximum security, medium security, and minimum security. The method of the research is normative supported by interview and observation to confirm the data that the author got from the document research. To develop the correctional system in Indonesia, this research also use comparative studies with other countries in the penitentiary field. The result of the research concluded that the revitalization of the correctional facilities has not caused significant changes because there are several obstacles, so that structural and systemic changes are needed to help the success of this revitalization.
