This study examines preventive efforts in tackling recidivism at Class II B Kraksaan State Detention Center, Probolinggo. The research aims to identify the implementation of inmate development programs, analyze supporting and inhibiting factors, and assess their alignment with criminology theories. Using a socio-legal empirical method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and document review, then analyzed qualitatively. Findings show that preventive programs include personality development, vocational training, social development, social reintegration, and external partnerships. Personality development is the most consistently implemented, while vocational training and external cooperation face resource and monitoring limitations. The novelty of this research lies in mapping the linkage between prison-based programs and the need for sustainable social reintegration strategies. Strengthening cross-sector collaboration is urgent to ensure behavioral change among former inmates remains sustainable.
