INTRODUCTION
Humans are creatures created by Allah who are given the highest degree among all His creations.
Allah has granted us reason and intellect so that we can distinguish between good and evil.
Through the special qualities we possess, it is hoped that humans can achieve happiness in this world and the hereafter.
Essentially, humans always desire change within themselves to become better individuals, both in physical and spiritual aspects, and constantly seek forgiveness and repent to Allah.
Therefore, to realize the goal of becoming a better person, especially in prison, the previous prison system has now been changed to the Correctional system known today.
By changing the prison system to the Correctional/Home of Detention system, inmates or residents under rehabilitation do not merely serve their sentences in cells, but also receive various forms of guidance and development.
According to the view of Dirjosworo Soedjono, prisoners are ordinary human beings like any other people, but because they have violated the applicable legal norms, they must be separated by the judge to serve their sentence.
Meanwhile, according to Budi Salimin Santoso, a prisoner is someone who, as a result of their actions violating legal norms, is sentenced to criminal punishment by a judge.
The rehabilitation of prisoners is regulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 22 of 2022 on Corrections in Chapter 1 concerning general provisions.
Article 1, points 1 and 2, which states:
Correctional services are activities carried out to provide guidance for Correctional Inmates or prison residents based on the system, institution, and method of guidance, which are the final part of the penal system in the prison court procedure.
The correctional system or detention center is an arrangement concerning the direction and limits as well as the method of guidance for Correctional Residents based on Pancasila, which is carried out in an integrated manner between the instructors, the inmates, and the e-ISSN 2775-2976 International Journal of Economic.

There is a lack of understanding in society that prisoners are not only imprisoned but are also given guidance, which is why many people still discriminate against prisoners.
When they hear the word prisoner or former prisoner, they think that prisoners are evil, dangerous people who must be avoided.
As stated by Carver and Scheier, every behavior has its own cause and is controlled through certain processes, whether originating from oneself .
elf-regulation/internal regulatio.
or from external factors .
xternal regulatio.
In the context of drug inmates, if they are aware of being in the wrong place but do not feel guilty because they consider themselves merely users, not criminals, and view their case as an extension of someone elseAos case, this indicates a weak self-regulation.
As a result, they find it difficult to distinguish between right and wrong actions.
Self-control is the ability to plan, guide, manage, and direct behavior so that it produces positive consequences.
This ability plays a role in reducing negative psychological impacts and preventing unwanted outcomes, because individuals with self-control can anticipate the consequences of their behavior.
Religious guidance is considered a good thing as a form of prevention for inmates, as it can provide insight into self-control.
The purpose of this guidance is to adjust the attitudes and behaviors of inmates.
One method of shaping behavior is through conditioning or habituation.
By training oneself to behave as expected, such behavior will eventually form.
To restore self-confidence, selfesteem, dignity, and the honor of inmates so that they are ready to return to society properly and in accordance with religious norms, an approach based on religious values needs to be This discussion encourages the researcher to examine this topic through this study.
The image of inmates in the public perception is like people who have lost their way and do not follow religious commands, but in reality, this is not the case.
Inmates can distance themselves from negative thoughts that haunt them by engaging in beneficial activities, namely spiritual activities, job guidance, and sports.
The activities carried out by the inmates shape public perception that, even though they come from individuals who have previously violated norms whether religious, social, moral, or legal they are undergoing a period of rehabilitation to realize and adhere to the values and norms applicable in society.
A detention house is an institution that organizes rehabilitation for Inmates in a detention facility based on a system, institutional framework, and rehabilitation methods, which is the final part of the penal system within the criminal justice process.
The Corrections System is an arrangement that regulates the direction, limits, and methods of rehabilitating Inmates in a detention house based on Pancasila, implemented in an integrated manner between the rehabilitators, the rehabilitated, and the community.
Its goal is to improve the quality of Inmates so that they are able to reform themselves, realize their mistakes, refrain from reoffending, be accepted back by society and their environment, actively participate in development, and live appropriately as good and responsible citizens.
The State Detention House, hereinafter referred to as a detention center, is a place for carrying out inmate rehabilitation.

AuDuring the time of the Children of Israel, there was a man who had killed ninetynine people.
He then went to see a monk to ask if there was still a way for him to The monk replied, 'No.
' Because of that, the man immediately killed the monk, making the total number of victims an even one hundred.
Then he asked someone else, who gave him guidance: 'Go to a village.
' He set off, but along the way, he died, with his body leaning towards the village.
Then a dispute arose between the Angels of Mercy and the Angels of Punishment.
Allah then commanded the good earth to come closer and the evil earth to move away.
After measuring, it turned out he was closer to the intended village, so he was forgiven.
Ay (Narrated by Bukhari and Musli.
This statement shows that everyone has the right to repent and return to the path approved by Allah SWT.
This is reflected by inmates participating in Islamic spiritual programs in the prison.
They realize that serving a prison sentence alone is not enough to atone for the wrongs they have committed.
it must also be accompanied by self-awareness of their actions and a return to Allah SWT's path by undertaking repentance as an effort to improve oneself and purify the heart sincerely .

They atone for their mistakes by repenting to return to Allah SWT's path while also improving themselves and cleansing their hearts.
participating in the program as mentioned, the desire to understand and acknowledge mistakes and to repent becomes easier, because the activities are carried out in a structured, systematic, and collective manner.
This makes each participant not feel ashamed, especially for inmates who have reached a level of self-awareness to cleanse their sins while seeking forgiveness from Allah SWT.
Based on the results of the interview conveyed by Mr.
Budi Setiaji, at the Kabanjahe Class IIB Detention Center, spiritual guidance is implemented for inmates who are of the Islamic faith, and imams are invited to deliver lectures and enlightenment to Muslim inmates.
The hope is that prisoners can demonstrate good attitudes and behaviors for themselves as well as for others.
Through this personality development program, many inmates, after serving their sentences, feel mentally ready to return to society, as their personalities have been well-formed through the religious spiritual guidance program.
The summary of the main differences is that the purpose of spiritual guidance in religious organizations is to help individuals increase spiritual awareness and develop selfcontrol.
Meanwhile, the purpose of spiritual guidance in prisons is to help inmates develop self- e-ISSN 2775-2976 International Journal of Economic.
