Abstract: Aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Jacobsons Progressive Muscles Relaxation Techniques (JPMRT) on Anxiety among detoxified inmates. The research design was quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group research design. Researcher used Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to collect the data. Total 46 (Experimental group = 25, Control group = 21) male detoxified inmates were selected through Purposive sampling technique. JPMRT was administered to Experimental group for 30 minutes once in a day. The effectiveness of Jacobsons Muscles Relaxation Therapy (JPMRT) on level of anxiety in experimental group pre-test follow-up mean difference was 15.05, t = 25.30, (P=0.001, Significant). Whereas in control group pre-test follow-up mean difference was 08.76, t= 22.13, (P=0.001, Significant).
