Abstract

Drug abuse in Indonesia is still a case that is considered quite high. The perpetrators of drug abuse receive criminal penalties so that they must be in correctional institutions. Being in a correctional institution does not immediately make drug abusers feel guilty about their actions. Many factors influence offenders to still commit drug abuse even though they are already in a correctional institution.  On the other hand, the function of a correctional institution is as a correctional institution which aims to prevent inmates from repeating their actions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence inmates to have the desire to use drugs. The method used was interviews and observations to 8 inmates of correctional institutions. The results showed that inmates of drug cases have various criminal backgrounds such as users, couriers, and even dealers. Another factor that makes them abuse drugs is found that methamphetamine can help them in lightening their work because of the effects of using methamphetamine, of the 8 people there are people who have difficulty controlling themselves. There were 8 people who reported that they used drugs because they were influenced by the environment and 2 other people who dealt drugs due to their economic conditions. It can be concluded that the abuse of narcotics led the perpetrators to enter correctional institutions due to their lack of self-control.
