Backing Saifuddin's decision, advocates argue that denying immunity to prison officers is a necessary step toward transparency and justice. They point to past cases where officers were shielded from prosecution, leading to a culture of impunity. Without immunity, victims of abuse can seek legal redress, and officers are deterred from misconduct. This aligns with international human rights standards and strengthens public trust in the prison system. Furthermore, the policy encourages better training and oversight, as officers know they are accountable. Civil society groups have long called for such reforms, and this move signals the government's commitment to rule of law.
