This research wants to answer the questions about: (1) The paradigm of missionary endeavor (dakwah) in a prison, (2) The prisoner perception on the recovery process through dakwah activities in prison, (3) The influence of dakwah in prison by using socio-cultural approach. This is a qualitative research which uses indepth and quasi participant observation techniques in collecting the data. The results of the research are: (1) There is a paradigm that dakwah in prison has not given significant contribution. The awareness to repent is not directly caused by the dakwah process. (2) The prisoners’ perception about recovery process through dakwah varies in several terms. The prisoners regard the prison as the second Islamic boarding house, the yellow campus, the recovery place, the place to punish the criminal, and the place to exile the “cursed” people.
