Supporting and Involving Families in the Rehabilitation of Offenders (PID119)

Parallel Workshops

Singapore Prison Service (SPS) recognises the importance of assisting and involving families in the rehabilitation of offenders, not only to promote desistance, but also to mitigate the risk of intergenerational offending. To this end, SPS works closely with community partners to support and involve offenders’ families and children, through various initiatives like information and referral services, family programmes, and partnerships.

This presentation showcases the approach and ongoing and recent initiatives undertaken by SPS to involve the offenders' families in the rehabilitation and reintegration journey, in a deliberate and sustainable manner.
