The  inmates  (WBP)  with  murder  case  in  class  I  penitentiary  of  Semarang  generally  get  depression.  This leads  to  this  study  with  narima ing pandum (NIP)  intervention.  The  treatment  employed  local  wisdom approach to accommodate individual values that the inmates believe. This study aims to prove empirically the effect of narima ing pandum (NIP) intervention on murder case inmates’ depression. To investigate the level of depression before and after the training, scale Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was employed. The materials  given  in  this  training  are  opening,  opening  the  WBP's  insights,  managing  attitudes,  let's  be thankful,  let's  be  patient,  let's  narima,  and  identifying  the  purpose  of  life.  The  intervention  employed  an experimental  method  with  pretest-posttest  control  group  design.  The  participants  were  12  WBP  murder cases who were grouped into experimental groups and control groups. The results of the analysis showed that  NIP  group  intervention  can  decrease  the  depression  score  more  in  the  experimental  group  than  the control group. The results of this study can be used by the Prison as alternative solution in overcoming the psychological  problems  of  WBP  and  in  addition  to  the  study  of  indigenous  research  in  dealing  with  the impact of crime.
