摘要：This study aims to find a valid, practical and effective model of character building based on Islamic Religious Education that can be used as a guide for character building in detention centers. The subjects of this study were inmates at the Class II B Kolaka State Detention Center. The research and development procedure used is the Borg and Gall model which is simplified into five stages, namely needs analysis, design, development, revision and testing. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, questionnaires and documentation. The results of the study indicate that it is necessary to develop a character-building model based on Islamic education for prisoners in the Class II B Kolaka State Detention Center. This has been proven empirically and theoretically. The description of the prototype model of character building based on Islamic education in class II B Kolaka state detention refers to the model made by Joyce and Weil which contains a framework consisting of components: syntax, social system, reaction principle and support system named by researchers with the AKBAR model which contains steps to teach, clean, do, control and evaluate. The operational model of character education and its tools meet the criteria of validity, practicality and effectiveness, it can be seen from 1) The results of expert validation of the character-building model and its tools meet the established validity criteria. 2) The results of the assessment of the response of users and prisoners to the character-building model meet the criteria of the established indicators.
