The tendency for ex-prisoners to return to their previous environment after release is a significant concern. Despite routine training programs, many former inmates still choose to re-enter the criminal world. This is primarily due to difficulties in finding employment after release and challenges related to capital and knowledge when starting a business. This study investigates a human resource development model to prepare prisoners for entrepreneurship, representing a first step in this area of research. Data was collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews with 150 inmates, and business confidence surveys. Results indicated that 100 of the 150 prisoners demonstrated entrepreneurial potential, but only 50 had interests aligned with market demands. Intervention through motivation, knowledge provision, and personality development improved entrepreneurial preparedness for these 50 inmates.

This study reveals that most inmates in Banjarmasin are involved in drug-related offenses and lack formal education.While many possess entrepreneurial potential, their personality traits, particularly in areas of cooperation and leadership, require development.The research highlights the importance of tailoring training programs to inmates individual interests, skills, and market feasibility.Effective interventions, including motivational support and personality development, can enhance their preparedness for entrepreneurship.

Further research should explore the long-term impact of entrepreneurship training on recidivism rates among ex-prisoners in Banjarmasin, considering the unique challenges they face reintegrating into society. Additionally, a comparative study could investigate the effectiveness of different training methodologies, such as incorporating mentorship programs with successful local entrepreneurs, to determine which approaches best foster sustainable business ventures. Finally, research is needed to understand the role of social support networks and community resources in facilitating the successful transition of ex-prisoners into entrepreneurship, and how these can be strengthened to provide ongoing assistance and reduce the risk of relapse into criminal activity. These investigations should aim to provide practical insights for policymakers and correctional institutions to improve rehabilitation programs and promote economic self-sufficiency among former inmates.
