Development Guidelines for the Orientation Program for New Inmates: A Case Study of Kalasin Provincial Prison

Abstract

This research, titled Development Guidelines for the Orientation Program for New Inmates: A Case Study of Kalasin Provincial Prison, aimed to examine the outcomes of the program implementation using the CIPPIEST Model, to compare the effects of different types of criminal offenses and imprisonment sentences on the program outcomes, and to propose guidelines for developing the program. The population consisted of newly admitted inmates at Kalasin Provincial Prison. The study employed a survey research design, using a questionnaire as the main data collection instrument. Data were collected personally by the researcher. Based on sample size calculation, the required sample was 284 participants; however, data were collected from 300 participants (representing 105.63% of the calculated sample) to reduce potential error. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, followed by conclusions and discussions of the findings.

            The results revealed that the overall program implementation, evaluated through the CIPPIEST Model, was at a high level (𝑥̅ = 3.98, S.D. = 0.94). The results of the analysis of differences in the overall results of the project implementation using the CIPPIEST Model regarding the offense under the law and the different penalty rates showed that the opinions towards the overall results of the project implementation were not statistically significantly different (Sig. > 0.05). The proposed development guidelines for the orientation program for new inmates at Kalasin Provincial Prison comprised three key aspects: (1) inmates’ attitudes, (2) program management, and (3) physical environment.
