<![CDATA[This study examines the integration of Javanese customary values (rembuk blok and tepo seliro) in conflict resolution among inmates at Jepara Detention Center as an alternative to seclusion-based sanctions. Using critical ethnography (2023-2024) with participatory observation, interviews with inmates and prison officer, and analysis of conflict cases, findings reveal: (1) rembuk blok prevents conflict escalation through participatory dialogue; (2) tepo seliro facilitates empathy-based reconciliation; (3) adaptation of customary social sanctions (voluntary exclusion) improves social cohesion. Key barriers include philosophical gaps between state-customary law, staff resistance, and regulatory voids. Recommendations include integrating rembuk blok into conflict mediation SOPs and legal pluralism-based staff training.]]>
