Abstract

This thesis is motivated by convicts who already have a history of legal cases along with social sanctions, whether they still have religiosity in them. Fulfillment of the convict's sense of religiosity requires religious guidance in correctional institutions. Efforts are made to support changes in attitudes and behavior when declared free in the community later. This study uses qualitative methods to look at conditions in prisons, by researchers conducting in-depth interviews with prisoners and obtaining data. Researchers are directly involved in the field with the aim of knowing the activities of coaching correctional institutions and want to understand more deeply how the process of their religious development is. The results of the research show that the implementation of religious coaching can be carried out properly according to the religion of each informant and carried out according to the existing programs in prisons. They participated enthusiastically by taking part in religious activities which were carried out like the worship officers of each religion. Prisoners experience experiences that make them understand religious activities and gain wisdom from these activities. Prisoners also consider that they want to become better human beings so that they will continue to be active in the process of religious development to support changes in attitudes and behavior later. Even though during a pandemic, the prison will continue to try to provide religious activities with the best facilities on every religious holiday so that it becomes a routine program that can maintain intimacy not only among people of different religions but also across religions. The response from the prisoners was positive, they were happy with this religious guidance. The existence of religious guidance made them closer to God because before they were fostered, they rarely worshiped.
