Abstract

In Indonesia, repeated criminal acts are very fluctuating. Many believe that the occurrence of recidivist prisoners is caused by the failure of guidance and lack of social support. The impacts that occur on recidivist prisoners are that they tend to be socially ostracized by society because they have committed acts that are contrary to the law, religious values, ethics and morals. This causes the prisoners to feel lonely. This study aims to determine the dynamics of loneliness in recidivist prisoners at the Class I Malang Correctional Institution (LAPAS). This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The subjects of this study were two recidivist prisoners with drug and theft cases. The data collection technique used was through observation, interviews and documentation. Analysis of research data used thematic analysis with a Theory Driven approach. The causes of recidivist prisoners committing repeated criminal acts are influenced by several factors such as family factors, economic factors, education factors, and internal individual factors. The results of the study on the dynamics of loneliness in the two subjects had almost different dynamics of loneliness so that the responses conveyed were also different. The dynamics of loneliness in the two subjects were seen from four aspects, namely: despair, impatience, boredom, self-blame, and depression. Both subjects are more dominant in the aspects of despair and depression. This study is expected to provide information and can be an evaluation and improvement of recidivist prisoners about the dynamics of loneliness experienced.
