The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the implementation of institutional guidance for Children in Conflict with the Law (CCL) at UPT PRSMP Surabaya and to identify the challenges and efforts involved in its implementation. The background of this study is the importance of implementing a juvenile criminal justice system that emphasizes restorative justice and social rehabilitation in accordance with the Juvenile Criminal Justice System (JCJS) Law and the Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 26 of 2018. The research method employed in this empirical legal study is a structural approach and an interdisciplinary approach. The data were collected through interviews, observations, literature review, and documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using qualitative and descriptive methods. The research was conducted at UPT PRSMP Surabaya, a social institution under the supervision of the Social Affairs Office of East Java Province that provides care and guidance for CCL. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of guidance for ABH at UPT PRSMP Surabaya is in accordance with the applicable legal provisions; however, its implementation has not yet been fully effective. Several challenges require attention, including limited human resources in the implementation of guidance, and inadequate facilities and infrastructure to support its implementation. The efforts undertaken by UPT PRSMP Surabaya include strengthening the capacity of human resources in implementing guidance for CCL, and optimizing facilities and infrastructure to support the implementation of guidance
