Prison as a place of guidance contributes in terms of skills and knowledge, so the role of prisons ranging from upstream to downstream is to start prisoner empowerment from production to marketing, which currently has a vital role in the technological aspects of marketing activities (digital marketing). The concept used in the research relates to digital marketing, entrepreneurship, and community empowerment because the sustainability aspect is needed in empowerment activities, starting from changing the mindset behavioural of prisoners to become entrepreneurs through education about entrepreneurship and digital marketing. This study uses a qualitative approach that seeks to find deep understanding. It seeks to understand the meaning, values, perceptions, and goals in every action and decision in aspects of human life through observation and in-depth interviews.
