<![CDATA[This qualitative study describes the implementation of Islamic religious counseling for juvenile inmates at LPKA Class I Medan, Tanjung Gusta, focusing on stakeholder roles, program activities, perceived changes, and constraints. Data were collected on April 21, 2026, from one Islamic religious counselor, one LPKA officer, and ten juvenile inmates aged 15–20 years through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The program included Qur’anic learning, religious lectures, discussions, individual counseling, and self-reflection, generally conducted once a week. Informants and observational data indicated participation in religious activities, improved worship routines, changes in interpersonal behavior, and increased self-reflection. However, the findings do not establish long-term behavioral change or causal program effectiveness. Reported constraints included limited time, differences in motivation and religious backgrounds, and participants’ emotional conditions. The study highlights the need for systematic documentation, adaptive counseling methods, and regular program evaluation.]]>
