Abstract

This study examines the role of correctional counselors (Wali Pemasyarakatan) in enhancing inmates’ self-control through personality development programs at the Class IIA Curup Correctional Facility. Correctional counselors act as facilitators, communicators, and motivators in supporting inmate rehabilitation and social reintegration. Strengthening self-control is considered essential to prevent recidivism and help inmates adapt successfully to life after release. The findings show that counselors play an active role in conducting risk assessments, assisting inmates in the reintegration process, and supervising spiritual and personality development programs. They also maintain ongoing communication with inmates and provide emotional support, which contributes to improving inmates’ self-awareness and behavioral control. However, several challenges hinder the effectiveness of their role, including limited facilities, an imbalance between the number of officers and inmates, diverse inmate backgrounds, and the lack of specialized psychological training for counselors. Therefore, it is necessary to improve infrastructure, increase the number of correctional staff, and provide targeted training programs to strengthen counselors’ competencies. These efforts are expected to enhance the effectiveness of personality development programs and support successful inmate reintegration into society.

Abstract

Correctional institutions play an important role in equipping inmates with productive skills to support their reintegration into society. At the Class IIA Salemba Correctional Institution, one such effort is sewing skills training, which aims not only to improve work competence but also to foster discipline, independence, and readiness for social life after release. This study examines the optimization of self-reliance development through sewing training and identifies the obstacles faced in its implementation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The analysis is supported by optimization and skills development theories, with stages including data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that self-reliance development has been implemented through structured sewing training programs guided by supervisors and instructors. This approach helps inmates develop practical skills and work discipline. However, several challenges limit the program’s effectiveness, such as a lack of sewing machines, inconsistent training schedules, limited budgets, a shortage of skilled instructors, and the absence of post-release follow-up programs. These constraints reduce the long-term sustainability and impact of the training. Therefore, improvements in facilities, human resources, and continuity programs are necessary to optimize the benefits of sewing training for inmates’ future independence.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Islamic spiritual development through tahsin and tajwid methods in supporting the personality development of inmates at the Class IIA Correctional Facility in Palu. Correctional institutions are not only responsible for enforcing sentences but also for preparing inmates for successful reintegration into society through character and moral development. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from primary and secondary sources through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The study is guided by implementation theory and the concept of correctional development (SPPN). The findings show that tahsin and tajwid activities contribute positively to shaping inmates’ discipline, religious awareness, and moral character. These programs also encourage collaboration with external parties, strengthening the overall development process within the institution. However, the implementation of the program still faces several challenges, including weak religious foundations among inmates, limited budget and human resources, low intrinsic motivation, and environmental factors that are not fully supportive. In conclusion, although the tahsin and tajwid approach has demonstrated positive outcomes, improvements in resources, program support, and motivational strategies are necessary to enhance its effectiveness in fostering inmates’ personality development and supporting their social reintegration.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of intellectual enhancement in personality development through a literacy corner program at the Class IIA Correctional Institution in Tangerang. The program is part of the broader correctional development system (SPPN), aiming to improve inmates’ literacy skills and support their personal growth. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The study is guided by literacy theory and the concept of correctional development (SPPN). The findings indicate that the literacy corner and library program are relatively effective in enhancing inmates’ intellectual capacity. Inmates actively use the library to gain knowledge, engage in positive activities during their free time, and improve their reading and comprehension skills. The program includes activities such as reading, writing book summaries, and participating in group discussions, which contribute to both cognitive and personal development. However, several challenges remain. Not all inmates participate actively in the program, the availability of reading materials is still limited in certain areas, and there is a lack of dedicated literacy mentors to guide and support inmates consistently. In conclusion, the literacy-based development program has a positive impact on inmates’ intellectual growth, but its effectiveness can be further enhanced by increasing participation, expanding library resources, and providing more structured mentoring support.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship of social support provided by correctional officers to the subjective well-being of inmates in the Class IIA Kotabumi Correctional Institution. The social support received by the inmates, whether in the form of emotional, instrumental, informational, or reward support, is thought to have a significant effect on their subjective feelings of well-being. This study uses a quantitative approach with survey and questionnaire methods as data collection instruments. The sample of this study is inmates in the Class IIA Kotabumi Prison who are randomly selected. Data analysis was carried out using the Pearson correlation test to test the relationship between social support variables and subjective well-being. The results of the study are expected to provide insight into the importance of the role of correctional officers in improving the psychological welfare of inmates and provide recommendations for more humane correctional institution management policies.
