Protection of children is carried out as an effort to present the next generations of the nation and realize the ideals of the nation in the future, efforts are made as part of the form of coaching in realizing the goals of the diatan. The development program for correctional students at the Maros Class II Special Child Development Institute has not been effective because there are still shortcomings, namely the absence of a legal awareness program and the provision of formal education which affects the non-fulfillment of the rights of correctional students, moreover there are still adult prisoners who should be separated from children. Then the classification is also not applied so that it affects the effectiveness of the coaching program for correctional students at the Maros Class II Children's Special Guidance Institute. The role of the officers of the Child Special Guidance Institution should have been confirmed in the laws and regulations and the officers should have carried it out. The actual role of the Children's Special Guidance Institute officers based on research is still not optimal due to the lack of quality and human resources. Then regarding the completeness of facilities and infrastructure, there are still many that have not been fulfilled, thus hampering the realization of an effective coaching program.
