Abstract

Abstract. This study investigates the social reintegration programs for correctional clients at Sintang Correctional Center in Indonesia, utilizing Robert K. Merton's adaptation typology to analyze the pathways of ex-prisoners during their reintegration process. Emphasizing the rights of prisoners as outlined in Indonesian law, the research highlights the significance of effective community guidance in mitigating recidivism and facilitating successful adaptation. Using a qualitative approach including phenomenological method and in-depth interview on 20 correctional clients, the study identifies the challenges faced by ex-prisoners, including economic hardship and societal stigma, which impede their reintegration efforts. The educational backgrounds of participants reveal a concerning lack of higher education, further limiting employment opportunities. The community guidance program is structured in three stages, namely early, advance, and final stage, which aims to enhance the quality of life for these individuals. However, findings indicate that a majority of such programs remain engaged in case work rather than group activities, suggesting areas for program improvement. By applying Merton's typology, the study categorizes clients' adaptation experiences into Conformity, Retreatism, and Innovation, illustrating the diverse strategies employed by ex-prisoners in navigating their reintegration. The findings underscore the necessity for comprehensive community support systems that address the multifaceted challenges faced by correctional clients, ultimately aiming to reduce recidivism and promote successful societal reintegration. Future recommendations include enhancing educational and vocational training opportunities and fostering community acceptance to improve reintegration outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the experiences of grief among prisoners related to their incarceration, utilizing Kubler-Ross's five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—augmented by insights from David Kessler. Recognizing grief as a holistic and individualized process impacting physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, the research aims to deepen understanding of prisoners' emotional journeys. Conducted with 30 prisoners in Indonesia, the study seeks to inform psychological support strategies and facilitate social reintegration by acknowledging diverse grief responses. The findings underscore the importance of personalized approaches to aid prisoners in progressing toward acceptance and healing within the correctional context
