Abstract
The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) has re-designed our prison environment in a bid to support rehabilitation, reintegration, and long-term desistance. Guided by best practices in the correctional literature, SPS developed what we refer to as the Transformational Environment (TE). The introduction of the TE signals a move beyond focusing on rehabilitation programs, to creating a holistic rehabilitative correctional environment. This paper seeks to illustrate the design and implementation of the TE in SPS, which is grounded in the five Ps – Purpose, People, Processes, Programs, and Place. With these five Ps, this paper provides practitioners with some practical ideas on creating a rehabilitative environment, both in custody and in the community.
