Keywords:
restorative justice, traffic cases, legal effectiveness, overcrowding, correctional institutionsAbstract
Overcrowding, or overcapacity, is a serious problem in Indonesia's penal system. This situation impacts the effectiveness of prisons, the provision of human rights, and increases the burden on the state budget. One of the main factors contributing to overcrowding is criminal law enforcement, which still emphasizes imprisonment, including for minor traffic cases. Alternatively, the concept of restorative justice offers case resolution through restoration, deliberation, and the involvement of perpetrators, victims, and the community. This study aims to analyze the legal regulations and effectiveness of restorative justice enforcement in traffic issues as an effort to reduce overcrowding at the Class IIA Kerobokan Penitentiary. The research method used is normative-empirical legal research. The results indicate that the implementation of restorative justice has a clear legal basis and is empirically effective in reducing the caseload and the number of inmates.
