Policy on rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners

Penal institutions in Hong Kong provide a disciplined but humane environment where inmates can receive appropriate counselling, where they can receive educational and vocational training, and where they can prepare themselves to return to society after release.

The Secretary for Security, Mr Peter Lai, said this today (Tuesday) at the opening ceremony of the Pacific Rim Regional Conference on "Reintegration of Discharged Prisoners: Rehabilitation, Employment and Prevention of Recidivism".

Mr Lai said that the two major aspects of the Government's penal policy were rehabilitation and aftercare service.

On rehabilitation, he said that all inmates in Hong Kong's penal institutions could receive education or training in one form or another.
