Abstract

Introduction: Recidivism remains a critical challenge in Indonesia's criminal justice system, particularly in correctional institutions like the Class IIB Ruteng Detention Center (Rutan).

Purposes of the Research: This study analyzes the effectiveness of coaching programs in enhancing inmates' skills and behavior, and their impact on recidivism rates.

Methods of the Research: Using an empirical juridical approach, primary data were collected through interviews with 20 inmates, 6 staff members, and observations at Rutan Ruteng, supplemented by secondary data from regulations and reports.

Findings of the Research: Findings reveal that while personality and independence coaching programs (e.g., religious awareness, vocational training in woodworking and farming) show moderate effectiveness in skill improvement (70% participation rate), behavioral changes are inconsistent due to limited resources and external stigma. Recidivism averaged 3 inmates annually (2021-2024), primarily theft cases, indicating partial program impact. The study recommends enhanced funding, community partnerships, and post-release support to reduce recidivism below national averages (3.55% in 2023). This research contributes to correctional policy reform aligned with Law No. 22/2022 on Correctional System.
