To you, he is a criminal. To us, he is a human being. A person who did wrong but is fully capable of changing for the better. Here at the Singapore Prison Service, we are firmly committed not just to being custodians of our inmates but also to help them back on their feet. We believe that they too can become productive members of society.
An inmate's journey to recovery begins the moment he comes under our care. Under a rigorous regime that encompasses the Housing Unit Management System, integrated incare, education in our Prison School and co-ordinated aftercare, we help him find self-worth, meaning and morality in his life. It is a customised rehabilitation route that caters to the individual's psychological, social, emotional and physical needs to ensure his fullest re-integration into society.
Below is an overview of the rehabilitation process.
