This research adopts a field research approach with a socio-legal juridical perspective. In the context of overcrowding, the study highlights its impact on rehabilitation programs and emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach. In-depth analysis indicates that limited prisoner access to adequate services can hinder the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs. The integration of criminal law policy theory, prisonization theory, and rehabilitation theory becomes crucial in designing holistic and targeted solutions. Based on the research analysis, it can be concluded that overcrowding creates pressure on human resources, impedes rehabilitation programs, and potentially harms the well-being of prisoners. A profound understanding of criminal law policy theories, including prevention, punishment, rehabilitation, deterrence, utilitarianism, and restorative justice, forms the foundation for formulating policies that guide prisoners not only toward punishment but also towards recovery and social reintegration.]]>
