The effectiveness and negative consequences of imprisonment have led to a new wave of penal policies, namely the tendency to avoid or limit the use of imprisonment and to improve the implementation of imprisonment. In other words, the study of criminal law on alternative crimes is intended for crimes that are classified as minor and one of the considerations is to address prison overcapacity. The problem of overcapacity of prisons is related to the judicial process of criminal cases, especially general crimes that are classified as light, because the criminal system itself causes problems due to the frequent imposition of prison sentences resulting in overcapacity of prisons. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze criminal law studies on imprisonment in the settlement of general crimes, as well as to determine and analyze the effectiveness of imprisonment in the Indonesian justice system. This study uses normative juridical research, secondary data sources, and is analyzed qualitatively.
