The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that religious guidance at Banyuwangi Class IIA Prison is carried out through various religious activities such as study groups, worship training, religious lectures, and moral development. These activities have a positive impact on the spiritual recovery of prisoners. which is marked by an increased religious awareness, inner peace, remorse for past actions, as well as a change in attitude and behavior for the better.
