Abstract

This study examines the implementation of religious-based rehabilitation programs for drug offenders at the Class IIB Correctional Institution in Tulungagung, with a focus on their potential to reduce recidivism. The research is motivated by the high rate of reoffending among drug convicts in Indonesia, highlighting the need for more effective rehabilitation approaches within correctional facilities. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving inmates and correctional officers. The analysis is based on policy implementation theory by George C. Edwards III and religiosity theory by Rodney Stark and Charles Glock. The findings indicate that religious development programs such as Qur’anic recitation, congregational prayers, religious lectures, and worship activities have been implemented consistently. These activities contribute positively to improving inmates’ behavior, increasing spiritual awareness, and strengthening their motivation to avoid reoffending. However, the implementation of the program is constrained by limited human resources, inadequate facilities, and budget restrictions. Despite these challenges, the study finds that religious-based rehabilitation has strong potential as an approach to reducing recidivism. In conclusion, religious development plays a significant role in fostering positive behavioral change among inmates. To maximize its effectiveness, stronger policy support, improved resources, and enhanced collaboration between institutions are necessary to ensure sustainable and impactful rehabilitation outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores the thought patterns and attitudes of inmates convicted of drug-related offenses at the Class IIB Correctional Institution in Bondowoso, with a focus on understanding the factors that contribute to repeated offending. The research is motivated by the high rate of recidivism in drug cases, which raises concerns about inmates’ awareness, mindset, and readiness to change. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with inmates, religious mentors, correctional officers, and health professionals. Thematic analysis was applied to identify recurring patterns and key insights. The findings reveal that many inmates tend to justify their past actions, feel comfortable in negative environments, and display excessive optimism about avoiding legal consequences. Impulsive decision-making without careful consideration is also common. Although some inmates express a desire to change, their efforts are often inconsistent and easily influenced by emotional and social pressures. Participation in rehabilitation or religious programs is not always based on genuine motivation, but sometimes driven by formal obligations or personal strategy. The study concludes that these unhealthy thought patterns and attitudes hinder meaningful behavioral change. Therefore, rehabilitation efforts need to be more personalized, in-depth, and continuous, with a stronger emphasis on developing self-awareness, accountability, and internal motivation to support lasting transformation and reduce recidivism.

Abstract

The elderly inmate population at Class IIB Correctional Facility (Lapas) in Tulungagung continues to grow, demanding the optimization of adaptive and comprehensive healthcare services. This study aims to analyze efforts to optimize healthcare services, identify key challenges, and formulate innovative solutions to fulfill the basic rights of elderly inmates. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews with correctional officers, medical personnel, and elderly inmates. The findings reveal that efforts to optimize healthcare services have been implemented through regular medical visits, designated housing blocks for elderly inmates, the application of specialized Standard Operating Procedures (Dilan and Milia), and collaborations with the local Health Office and referral hospitals. However, several major obstacles persist, including a limited number of medical personnel (only one doctor and one nurse for the entire inmate population), restricted availability of medications, inadequate elderly-friendly facilities, and a manual medical record system. Family involvement also plays a significant role in accelerating the recovery process of elderly inmates. This study further recommends an innovative initiative called SEKOCI (Rapid Response Health System for Elderly Inmates), aimed at enhancing emergency healthcare response through the installation of emergency buttons in elderly housing blocks. Other strategic recommendations include increasing human resources, digitalizing health records, and strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration. The results of this research are expected to serve as a reference for correctional policy, ensuring that healthcare service optimization for elderly inmates aligns with the principles of justice, humanism, and accountability.
