Why will the new closed centres be run by the Correctional
Services Department?
The Hong Kong Government consider the Correctional Services Department to be the only service in Hong Kong suited to perform the
difficult task of running these centres. They run a variety of
institutions other than prisons, for example treatment centres for
drug addicts.
Many Correctional Services Department staff have social welfare qualifications. They are well equipped to deal with the full range of potential problems in these centres.
