The high incidence of drug abuse has a significant impact on the mental health of inmates in correctional institutions. Resilience is considered an important factor that helps individuals adapt to stress during the rehabilitation period. This study aims to determine the relationship between resilience and mental health among inmates at the Class II B Narcotics Correctional Institution in Muara Sabak, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. The research employed a quantitative approach using purposive sampling with 80 respondents. The instruments used were the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the Mental Health Scale (SKM-12). The analysis results showed a positive but very weak correlation between resilience and mental health (r = 0.046; p = 0.693), indicating that the relationship was not statistically significant. Descriptive analysis revealed that both variables were in the moderate category. In conclusion, resilience does not play a significant role in inmates’ mental health, highlighting the need for a more supportive environment to enhance their psychological well-being
