Showing of videos to inmates
In response to press enquiries this (Monday) morning on a number of inmates of Stanley Prison protesting against not being allowed to see videos provided by distributors, a spokesman for the Correctional Services Department (CSD) made the following statement:
"The showing of videos to inmates has never been a specific policy of the department. The Prison Rules, which govern the treatment of prisoners, provide only that CSD should organise recreation activities and provide necessary facilities for inmates.
"At present, outdoor activities for inmates include various ball games. As for indoor activities, they include the playing of chess and Chinese billiards, watching television and listening to the radio. The department also provides newspapers and magazines to inmates and inmates can also borrow books from the library.
"During long public holidays, staff of the department also organise outdoor competitions among inmates and other activities.
"For some years, videos were shown to inmates at Stanley Prison through arrangements made by the institution's welfare officer of his own volition as a means to provide recreational entertainment.
