Abstract

By the end of 1999, I could look back with some satisfaction at the strides that we had made to embrace the idea of rehabilitation. For one, we had our vision and mission statement but second, and more importantly, a lot had been accomplished on the ground: the Prison School had opened its doors; R&P (Research and Planning branch) and Programme Branch had been set up and the rehabilitation framework was in place; HUMANS was beginning to be accepted as the right model for inmate management; and the strategy for the next three years had been forged and it would be presented at the Work Plan Seminar in May. A few other things had also been accomplished. I managed to strengthen our intelligence capability by borrowing two Police intelligence officers from the Police for the Prison Intelligence Branch. I had also borrowed officers from the Civil Defence Force to strengthen our Operations Division and Logistics Branch. Everything appeared set for take-off.
