This thesis was aimed to enable prisoners to legally receive their rights that
attained law protection as doing imprisonment in penitentiary place. Based on the
research, the writer found out that there were still many prisoners experiencing
violent actions in penitentiary place especially those new prisoners that just
entered the penitentiary place. Until now such violences have still been doing and
the actions became a tradition especially for those prisoners who just arrived in
this penitentiary place. Due to the violent actions and based on the research result
that the writer has done in the penitentiary place, there have been actually such
handlings by officers of the penitentiary place in order to prevent the existence of
the violences, but the violent actions still occurred though they were not
frequently done. The prisoners also have recognized what punishment they
received from the officers if they did the violences in the penitentiary place.
