Type of sociological juridical research; data sources obtained from primary data through interviews and secondary data using document studies; the data was analyzed qualitatively. Research results: 1) The problems that arise when there is overcapacity in the Class IIA Padang Prison are that it is less conducive to the use of space, the facilities/facilities are inadequate, and acts of violence arise and activate it. 2) Efforts by the Class IIA Padang Prison to overcome overcapacity are by granting conditional release to eligible persons serving 2/3 of their sentence, optimizing existing programs at the Class IIA Padang Prison and other efforts by applying the concept of restorative justice, especially for users. narcotics
