Mechanism for Payment of Replacement Money for Convictions Sentenced to Life

It is difficult to attach the additional penalty of replacement money attached to life convicts, both for the existence of subsidiary and non-subsidiary crimes. These difficulties are related to existing arrangements and the execution of confiscated goods. The aim of this research is to determine and analyze the mechanism for paying compensation to convicts sentenced to life imprisonment. The method used is normative juridical, a type of sociological legal research which is also known as field research. This method involves studying applicable legal provisions as well as real social practices. The mechanism for paying replacement money to convicts sentenced to life imprisonment is to include the concept of confiscation, accommodate all profits that the defendant obtains from the proceeds of criminal acts of corruption and harmonize the subsidiary sanctions of imprisonment for replacement money with the provisions of the Criminal Code.
