Security disturbances are the impact of the less than optimal persuasive and preventive efforts in the security system. Through persuasive efforts carried out by fulfilling rights and obligations, as well as fostering inmates in the form of skills and piety, these efforts have been running effectively and efficiently in preventing escapes. Preventive efforts by implementing security procedures for inmates, but these efforts have not been running effectively, because there are still shortcomings in terms of the number of personnel. Repressive efforts as a reaction to an incident, in the event of an attempted escape, coordination will be carried out with related parties and sanctions will be applied to inmates. This effort can be said to be an effort to take action and has been running effectively and providing legal protection to inmates.
