Anxiety experienced by prisoners before their free period is something that can be a source of stress and inhibit their social functions when in the community.The anxiety symptoms experienced such as insomnia, fear, and doubt. Moreover, leaving prison presents the challenge of social integration—of connecting with family and finding housing and a means of subsistence. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of reality counseling to reduce anxiety of prisoners in drug cases in the Class IIA Women's Penitentiary in Malang. The subject of this study was a 33 years old woman experiencing anxiety before the end of her incarceration. Data collection was carried out by interviews, graphic tests, SPM tests, and instruments in the form of the Self-report Anxiety Scale (SAS) given before and after the intervention. The intervention is provided in six sessions of reality counseling technique. The results showed that reality counseling was able to reduce the anxiety level of the subjects. The subject managed to find insight to face the reality of her life and not blame others, as her negative thoughts will not necessarily come true.
