This program was attended by 81 social work students from batches of 2017 to 2019. This activity started at 08.00 and ended at 11.30. The activities carried out in prisons are

1. Observation of the activities of the Correctional Assistance (WBP)

2. Band performances from WBP and students

3. Material from prison

4. A sharing session with WBP Bayu Santoso was always the activity coordinator conveying that this activity was aimed at eliminating the stigma of students towards the Wirogunan Prison in Yogyakarta. There are still many students who think prisons are terrible and unfriendly places, even though this is not true. This activity also makes students who are interested in corrective social work or law to be more active in studying, including those who are not interested. Mr. Sukamto as a social worker at the Wirogunan prison in Yogyakarta, added that “you don't be afraid when you are in prison, because they are all like us, only they have been wrong which resulted in them arriving here”.
