<![CDATA[This study examined the role of social rehabilitation guidance in shaping the behavior of residents at the Sinjai Class IIB Detention Center. It used a qualitative approach, drawing on interviews and thematic grouping of accounts from staff, program coordinators, and residents. The findings showed that rehabilitation activities were already taking place in practice, although their formal inauguration as a program had not been completed. Guidance was delivered through health services, education, religious activities, and talent and interest development. Health services included screening, routine examinations, counseling, spiritual support, and follow-up; education offered Packages A, B, and C, supported by ability assessment and learning evaluations. Religious guidance combined instruction, worship practice, and assistance for Muslim and Christian residents. Talent and interest activities included sports, crafts, gardening, and skills training. Residents’ reported experiences suggested that these activities helped strengthen knowledge, self-confidence, learning motivation, inner calm, self-control, and productive use of time. The findings also identified needs for additional reading materials, learning time, facilities, equipment, and health-service support. External partners broadened the available assistance, while limitations in facilities, materials, and trainers remained challenges. The study extends theoretical understanding of behavior formation by showing how health, education, religious, and skills-based services operate as complementary dimensions of guidance in a detention setting. Overall, social guidance contributed to positive behavioral development as perceived by participants; stronger coordination, improved facilities, and sustained activities are needed to make these benefits more consistent and accessible.]]>
