Abstract: Abstract Former inmates face significant challenges in reintegrating into society, including social stigma and economic difficulties. This study explores the role of entrepreneurship education in facilitating their reintegration. This study uses a qualitative method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine former prisoners in Bandung, West Java. The findings indicate that entrepreneurship education enhances economic capabilities, self-efficacy, and social identity while reducing reliance on illicit activities. Social support from communities and institutions further strengthens successful reintegration. Entrepreneurship education equips individuals with skills and knowledge, alleviating financial challenges and lowering recidivism rates. This study emphasizes the importance of providing economic and social skills to ensure long-term reintegration and well-being, offering valuable insights for academics and practitioners in rehabilitation and reintegration efforts.
