Kondisi utama yang ingin dicapai setiap Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (Lapas) dan Rumah Tahanan Negara (Rutan) adalah aman tertib tanpa gangguan keamanan dan ketertiban. Petugas Kesatuan Pengamanan merupakan SDM penting yang menentukan kondisi keamanan lapas. Petugas pengamanan memiliki peranan penting dalam pelaksanaan manajemen pengamanan, terrnasuk di dalamnya sistem pengamanan yang diterapkan. Terjadinya pelarian Gunawan Santoso adalah terutama kesalahan dan sistem pengamanan dan petugas pengamanan yang melaksanakan sistem tersebut. Shery Staruss mengatakan bahwa pengertian lebih luas tentang keamanan dapat diartikan sebagai pencegahan terhadap adanya kerugian dan sebab apapun, baik secara fisik maupun non fisik, berwujud maupun tidak berwujud. Salah satu kerugian yang dihindari di Lapassustik Jakarta adalah peredaran dan pemakaian gelap narkoba di lingkungan keamanan Lapassustik Jakarta dan mencegah terjadinya pelarian. Kondisi ini jelas harus didukung oleh SDM petugas pengamanan. Priyatno Rahardjo mengatakan bahwa terjadinya peningkatan pelarian salah satunya adalah rendahnya kualitas SDM petugas pengamanan , karena kurangnya pemahaman terhadap peraturan Penjagaan Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (PPLP) dan Prosedur Tetap (protap) pelaksanaan tugas pemasyarakatan. Petugas pengamanan dalam penyelenggaraan manajemen pengamanan di Lapas Khusus Narkotika Jakarta adalah melaksanakan rangkaian kegiatan pengamanan, mengefektifkan sarana pengamanan untuk terciptanya kondisi lapas aman dan tertib, peranannya dalam terjadinya gangguan keamanan dan ketertiban, serta kepemimpinan dalam mengefektifkan kerjasama tim petugas pengamanan. Terjadinya pelarian terpidana mati Gunawan Santoso karena faktor - faktor kelalaian dan ketidakdisiplinan petugas pengamanan dalam melaksanakan tugasnya, kesalahan sistem pengamanan khususnya sitem pengamanan kunci sel Gunawan Santoso, mental petugas pengamanan yang tidak siap sebagai petugas pengamanan Lapassustik, profesionalisme pekerjaan petugas pengamanan yang rendah perilaku petugas yang diskriminatif serta kondisi psikologis Gunawan Santoso sendiri. Penjatuhan pidana hukuman mati seakan sudah menjadi akhir bagi hidupnya, juga didukung rasa tertekan, stres dan depresi. Kelemahan petugas pengamanan dalam melaksanakan pengamanan maksimum di lapasssutik Jakarta dikarenakan beberapa faktor, yaitu jumlah personil yang tidak seimbang dengan jumlah warga binaan,kurangnya koordinasi dan kerjasama tim serta minimnya pengetahuan dan tekhnik dalam pelaksanaan tugas pengamanan.

Every correctional institution and state detention centers wants to achieve and maintain a condition whereby there is no threat to security and order. Therefore officers of the security detail are the important human resource to determining the security condition of the institution and centers.

The security detail officers have an important role in undertaking security management, including the security system implemented. Flaws in the security system and mistakes of the security officers implementing the system were the major causes which led to the escape of Gunawan Santoso.

Sherry Strauss states that further understanding of security can be defined as to avoid suffering losses and whatever reasons, physical or non physical and whether existing or non existing. One of the losses avoided by the Jakarta Narcotics Detention and Correctional Institution is the distribution and misuse of narcotics as well as escape attempts.. This situation therefore needs the support of security human resource. Priyatno Rahardjo explains that the increase in escapes is due to among them the poor human resource quality in the security detail caused by the lack in understanding of the rules applied in securing security in correctional facilities implementing of the standard operating procedure of correctional duties.

In the Jakarta Narcotics Detention and Correctional Institution, security officers carry out in the process of implementing the security management, conduct a series of security activities including maximization in utilizing security infrastructures to maintain order and security in the facility, roles to play in facing threats to security as well as leadership in effecting cooperation among members of the security details.

Flaws in the security system especially the system for the security of the cell keys, the mentality of the security officers who are not ready to undertake the responsibility as members of the facility security detail, low professional work ethics of the security officers, discrimination acts by the security officers as well as the psychological state of Gunawan Santoso were main factors which led to the escape of this death row inmate. The sentencing of the death sentence led him to believe that it was the end of his life and this was made worse with pressure he felt, stress and depression.

The unbalance ratio of inmates to security detail officers, poor coordination among members of the security details as well as lack of knowledge and technique were the weakening factors faced by the security officers of the of the Jakarta Narcotics Detention and Correctional Institution in their effort to maximize security in the facility.
