Abstract

It has been almost four years since I left my post as Director of Prisons. The Prison Service has gone through two leadership changes in the mean time. My successor, Ng Joo Hee was in the post for two years before he was appointed the Commissioner of Police. Soh Wai Wah succeeded him as Director of Prisons in January 2010. By all accounts, the business of rehabilitation goes on. Both my successors believed in rehabilitation and had made further refinements to the system I left behind. If it were otherwise, I would be the saddest man on earth. Events seemed to suggest that all the labour and risk taking that went into reforming the prison system had not been wasted. The political leadership in the Ministry had changed too. The new administration has been much more supportive of what the Prison Service is doing and I expect greater things to come from the new leadership team.
