This research is entitled Projections of Private Prisons in Indonesia and will discuss 2 problem formulations, namely how the government is trying to overcome overcrowding that occurs in correctional institutions and what factors are the pros and cons regarding the existence of private prisons. The aim is to find out and study the factors that influence the existence of private prisons and to find out and study the pros and cons related to private prisons. In this method the author uses a normative juridical approach. Normative juridical is research that focuses on legal science but does not forget the legal rules that were born and apply in society itself. Prison or correctional institution is a place that functions as a place of empowerment for prisoners, or a place that functions as social reintegration which makes it a place to improve oneself from previous actions or violations. The most prominent problem in correctional institutions that is always in the spotlight and is still difficult to overcome is the problem of overcrowding, which is caused by low capacity. One effort to overcome the problem of overcrowding is the existence of private prisons. In several countries such as America, England and Australia, privately managed corrections institutions (LP) have long been successful. Therefore, it is interesting to discuss the problem of overcrowding in prisons in Indonesia. To discuss these questions, the author presents a thesis entitled "Private Prison Projections in Indonesia".
