Abstract

Detention houses are closed institutional environments characterized by restrictions on freedom and strict social structures, thereby forming a unique context for psychosocial experiences among inmates. In the study of social and applied psychology, individual characteristics and duration of institutional exposure are seen as important factors for understanding the experience of detention more comprehensively. This study aims to analyze the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and the length of imprisonment of inmates as a form of institutional exposure in the Banyumas State Prison. This study uses a quantitative approach with a secondary data analysis design. The study participants were the entire population of inmates who were administratively recorded during the study period. The data analyzed included sociodemographic characteristics and criminal duration. Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, including chi-square tests. The results showed variation in the length of time of the sentence based on specific sociodemographic characteristics, although not all relationships reached statistical significance. These findings suggest that the distribution of criminal length is not random and cannot be explained by a single individual characteristic. This study highlights the significance of social psychology and applied psychology perspectives in interpreting institutional administrative data within the context of detention exposure, and serves as a basis for further research that integrates direct psychological measurements to gain a deeper understanding of institutional impacts.

Abstract

The lives of inmates in closed institutions often lead to various psychological pressures, such as loss of freedom, social isolation, and a crisis of meaning in life. Under these conditions, a spiritual approach through spiritual guidance activities is seen as playing an important role in helping inmates reflect on themselves and rediscover their purpose in life. This study aims to analyze the implementation of spiritual guidance and its contribution to the formation of inmates’ sense of purpose in life at the Banyumas Class IIA State Prison. This study employs a qualitative method using a case study approach. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving spiritual advisors, correctional officers, and inmates within the correctional facility. Data analysis utilizes an interactive analysis model comprising data reduction, data presentation, and the drawing of conclusions. The results of the study indicate that spiritual guidance in the prison is conducted through various activities, such as recitations, religious lectures, worship coaching, and spiritual assistance involving correctional officers and religious leaders. These activities have a positive impact on the psychological well-being of inmates, such as increasing religiosity, fostering self-reflection, and inspiring a desire to lead a more meaningful life within the prison setting. Thus, spiritual guidance plays a crucial role in helping inmates rediscover the meaning of life while serving their sentences. Â
