This study aims to analyze the impact of religious guidance programs on improving the emotional and moral intelligence of inmates at the Bengkulu Class IIB Detention Center. Religious guidance is seen as a corrective strategy oriented towards behavioral change and the formation of religious character that supports social reintegration. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving informants from guidance officers, religious teachers, and inmates. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of religious activities. The results show that the religious guidance program has a significant effect on increasing self-awareness, empathy, and emotional control among inmates. In addition, the internalization of moral values through interpretation studies, lectures, and congregational worship plays an important role in changing behavioral orientation towards a more constructive direction. Religious guidance at the Bengkulu Detention Center serves not only as a spiritual means, but also as an effective rehabilitative instrument in shaping inmates with religious personalities, morals, and readiness to return to society responsibly.
