Abstract

Abstrak

Kriminalitas merupakan tindakan yang melanggar hukum yang dapat menyebabkan gangguan kestabilan sosial. Salah satu bentuk pidana adalah penjara di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (Lapas) yang bertujuan memperbaiki narapidana. Namun, banyak Lapas di Indonesia menghadapi Over Kapasitas, di mana mereka melebihi daya tampung. Kajian ini mengidentifikasi penyebab over kapasitas di Lapas, seperti kurangnya patuh masyarakat terhadap hukum, penahanan sebelum persidangan, dan penggunaan pidana penjara untuk pelaku narkoba. Faktor-faktor ini menciptakan situasi berbahaya di Lapas, mempengaruhi pemulihan narapidana, dan melanggar hak mereka.Dampak dari over kapasitas mencakup masalah keamanan, kenyamanan, dan peningkatan tindak kriminal di dalam Lapas. Oleh karena itu, solusi yang diusulkan adalah mempertimbangkan alternatif untuk pidana penjara dan mengedepankan pendekatan keadilan restoratif. Pendekatan ini telah berhasil diimplementasikan oleh kepolisian dalam beberapa kasus. Dengan demikian, kajian ini berharap memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang masalah over kapasitas di Lapas dan memberikan dasar untuk menguranginya di Indonesia

Abstract

Criminality involves actions that violate legal norms, leading to social disruption. One form of punishment is incarceration in Correctional Institutions (Lapas), aimed at rehabilitating inmates. However, many Lapas in Indonesia are facing overcapacity issues, exceeding their holding capacity. This study identifies the causes of overcapacity in Lapas, such as societal non-compliance with the law, pretrial detentions, and the use of imprisonment for drug offenders. These factors create dangerous conditions in Lapas, affecting inmate rehabilitation and violating their rights. The consequences of overcapacity include security and comfort issues and an increase in criminal activities within Lapas. Therefore, the proposed solution is to consider alternatives to imprisonment and prioritize a restorative justice approach. This approach has been successfully implemented by the police in various cases. Thus, this study aims to provide a better understanding of the overcapacity issue in Lapas and serves as a foundation for reducing it in Indonesia.
