Abstract
Correctional institutions are institutions for carrying out training for inmates. Correctional institutions in Indonesia facilitate various positive activities that inmates can take part in, such as sports, spirituality, scouting, school packages, and training in other skills. Due to the limited resources, many inmates can’t take part in the activities provided, so they only sleep or watch television. The activities provided by the correctional institutions basically aimed to prevent future crimes and the emergence of new victims. This research aims to determine the factors behind the inmates’ lack of activeness in participating at self-development activities. The interview and observation method with five inmates was carried out over a period of two weeks in March 2024. The interview of five participants stated that they had difficulty interacting socially, especially speaking in large groups. They tend to interact with one or two people. The limited ability to speak in large groups is a characteristic of public speaking anxiety. Five participants that were interviewed stated that they had great difficulty speaking in groups and felt anxious when they had to. Observation results also showed that they had difficulty making eye contact and speaking in small voices when in groups. It can be concluded, one of the factors that makes it difficult for inmates to participate in activities organized by correctional institutions is public speaking anxiety. Suggestions for developing the ability of inmates to be more active participating in activities include the need for training to overcome public speaking anxiety.
