Objective: This study aims to determine the influence of social support and spirituality with quarter life crisis in prisoners at Class IIB Jombang Correctional Institution. Method: This study uses quantitative methods with a sample of 155 prisoners aged 20-30 years. The instrument used consists of 3 scales, namely the social support scale (12 items, α = 0.894), spirituality scale (16 items, α = 0.936), and quarter life crisis scale (15 items, α = 0.725). Results: The results showed that social support and spirituality have a significant negative influence on quarter life crisis, which means that the higher the social support and spirituality, the lower the level of quarter life crisis. Social support provides a sense of acceptance and emotional validation, while spirituality helps individuals manage stress and anxiety. The findings suggest the importance of social and spiritual development programs for prisoners to help them deal with psychological distress during incarceration. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in exploring the experience of quarter life crisis in prisoners, a population that remains under-researched in this context.
