Guangdong Prison Administrative Bureau, Hong Kong Correctional Services Department, Singapore Prison Service and Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises Visiting (2018-07-05)

Responding to our invitation, on 5 July, delegations of Guangdong Prison Administrative Bureau, Hong Kong Correctional Services Department, Singapore Prison Service and Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises visited Macao and hosted the opening ceremony of Inmates and Juvenile Delinquents’ Handicraft Exhibition 2018. In the afternoon of the same day, the delegations visited the Correctional Services Bureau and exchanged and explored with our personnel on topics related to correctional administration. 

Accompanied by Director Cheng Fong Meng, Deputy Director Loi Kam Wan and other management-level personnel of our Bureau, the delegates toured the facilities of Coloane Prison and Youth Correctional Institution and inspected prison guard equipment. The delegations also exchanged and shared with our personnel on the prison management systems and practices in corrections in different places. During their meeting, members of the Tactical Response Unit of Coloane Prison demonstrated how the use of “binding blanket”, a piece of equipment they developed, could contribute to the efficient and effective transport of out-of-control inmates from the cell areas.

The Bureau hoped to maintain tight communication, cooperation and exchanges with our counterparts in different regions and continue to upgrade standards of correctional services provided.
