“…Initially called 'Sabbath School,' it aimed to teach inmates how to read the Bible, fostering knowledge, self-awareness, and cognitive skills for better decision-making upon release. Over time, the philosophy of imprisonment evolved beyond brutal corporal punishment as a means of redemption and transformation (Johnson et al, 2005).…”

<p>Correctional institutions are undergoing a transformative shift from punitive spaces to acknowledging the humanity of inmates. This study delves into Indonesian correctional facilities' religious-based coaching programs prioritizing inmate protection, reintegration, and dignity. Analyzing these through Islamic law and Maqasid al-sharī’ahprinciples, it explores personality development models and identifies limitations in current approaches. While initial findings showcase positive outcomes—behavioural changes and reduced distress—the study highlights the predominance of lecture-based programs, signalling the need for more comprehensive Islamic law-based models. Different inmate categories, especially those in serious crimes, display varying spiritual indicator weights. Spiritual development correlates positively with behavioural adjustments. Overcapacity issues in certain facilities, like Salemba and Jakarta Women's Correctional Institutions, pose severe challenges—from limited resources to inadequate staff ratios and hindrances in providing proper medical and psychological support, notably impacting drug abuse victims. The study underscores the urgency of restorative justice in sentencing, emphasizing rehabilitation and societal reintegration.</p>

“…Furthermore, they argue that these stereotypes tend to shape society's political judgment in favour of punitive policies rather than rehabilitation (Hurwitz and Peffley, 1997, p. 380). Therefore, as Johnson et al (2005) argue, despite reforms in the prison system that resulted in the shift of their purpose from punishment to correction, existing rehabilitation programs fail to deliver benefits for the imprisoned (36). The failure in the lack of proper implementation of rehabilitation programs often impacts racialized prisoners more often than their white counterparts.…”

The implementation of rehabilitation programs in the penal system has garnered significant attention to address the root causes of criminal behaviour and facilitate the successful reintegration of offenders into society. However, the effectiveness of rehabilitation in prisons remains a subject of debate. Specifically, it is disputed what factors influence rehabilitation effectiveness, with particular attention given to psychological and educational rehabilitation approaches, as well as factors affecting socio-demographic groups like age, race, and gender. The project conducted in-depth interviews with Ukrainian and Canadian university students to explore this issue further. Studies on rehabilitation effectiveness have produced varying results, with some indicating positive changes in inmates' psychological well-being and easier societal reintegration. In contrast, others have shown limited or no significant improvements. Their insight highlighted the need for improvements in the rehabilitation process to ensure public safety and reduce recidivism rates. By addressing these concerns, society can have greater confidence in the rehabilitative efforts undertaken in correctional facilities, ultimately fostering a safer environment for all.
