Transcription

“The Star Thrower” (or “starfish story”) is part of a 16-page essay of the
same name by Loren Eiseley (1907–1977). It relates the account of
an elderly man who spotted a young boy flinging stranded starfishes
back into the ocean one at a time.

The old man observed, “But there must be tens of thousands of
starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make
much of a difference.”
The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far
as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It
made a difference to that one!”

SINGAPORE PRISON Service ANNUAL Report 2013

Director’s Foreword
The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) took a big
step to become a correctional service in 2013.
The Enhanced Supervision Scheme which
started late in 2012, went into full swing in 2013,
providing casework to drug offenders after they
were released. This was a major development in
our capabilities, like adding airpower to an army.
No more do we rely just on our actions inside
the prisons to rehabilitate someone. We have
since extended our rehabilitation efforts beyond
the prison walls, into the community. With our
involvement since 2011 in pre-imprisonment
community-based alternatives to jail sentences,
and in 2013 this foray into post-imprisonment
casework, we had morphed from merely being a
prison service, to become a correctional service.
This change was further cemented in November
2013 with the introduction of the Prisons Act
amendments in Parliament to make provisions
for released persons to come under mandatory
aftercare. With the Act passed in January 2014,
it is now hardcoded in law for released persons
to come under the aftercare of the SPS. We
have responsibility over offenders not just during
their time in prisons, but also after their release,
for their reintegration and rehabilitation. This is
exactly what a correctional service does.
And the SPS is not alone in this work of aftercare.
The SPS and the other 100-odd agencies in
the CARE Network took another step towards
closer partnership, by having the first ever
CARE Network workplan seminar. We now
have joint workplans where we work in co-
ordination for our common goal of rehabilitation
of released persons. We also celebrated 10
years of the Yellow Ribbon Project by launching
a commemorative book which not merely
articulated the history of the Yellow Ribbon
Project, but also sketched out the blueprint for its
future.
But a correctional service is not just about
rehabilitation. It is also about safe and secure
prisons. The SPS’s professionalism in this area
took another stride forward when we conducted
a major risk review exercise to surface gaps and
then addressed the gaps.
Looking forward, 2014 will not be a mere
continuation of the SPS’s journey as a
correctional service. It will also be the start of a
fresh five-year strategic plan through which we
will see our prisons technologically transformed
and community corrections expanded. And in
line with our new vision statement launched in
2013, we will see even more in the community
inspired to join in the work of eradicating
recidivism in Singapore.

We have responsibility over offenders not

Re-Visioning
Setting New Frontiers
Taking a trip down memory lane, when SPS’ vision statement was first crafted in 1999,
the department was grappling with fundamental issues such as overcrowding, staff
recruitment and retention difficulties, as well as a lack of rehabilitative programmes.
Today, with a state-of-the-art prison complex, professionally trained officers who are
publicly recognised as Captains of Lives, and a myriad of initiatives to help offenders
return to society as reformed and responsible citizens, the SPS is no longer what it was.
The many accolades conferred on the department in recent years serve as further recognitions of the department’s transformation.
The one achievement we are especially proud of arrived in 2012 when the SPS was awarded the Singapore Quality Award with
Special Commendation, indicating that the department could claim to be an exemplary prison system. It was, therefore, timely to
re-look at the vision statement and assess if it was still relevant.
Everyone Matters
The re-visioning exercise began in October 2012 with the launch of an online survey open to all staff. In just two weeks, the survey
garnered more than 2,200 responses, representing over 90 per cent of the department’s staff strength. The survey was followed
by eight Mission Vision (MV) Debates sessions where around 200 participants took time off their busy work schedules to discuss the
points of contention arising from the survey in greater detail, as well as to craft their own vision statements. Subsequently, another
550 officers took part in five MV Rallies where they were presented with a list of suggested vision statements and challenged to
critique them.

entrusted with the safe custody and rehabilitation of offenders,
creating a society without re-offending is precisely what we have

offenders reintegrate back into society have all been geared towards
helping them lead a crime-free life.

life to improve my character, educate myself and, most
importantly, make myself feel good!
Just as the words “operations” and “rehabilitation” were key tenets of
the previous vision, “inspire” reflects the new normal that SPS aspires
towards, and represents a dream that has been deliberately left both
vague yet clear.
While the call is unmistakable, our new vision covers a scope so wide
that it creates a tension and demands every ounce of passion from
each and every officer and partner in the community. We interviewed
16 officers across all ranks and positions to share what their views on the
revised vision were. As you read through the article, take a minute to
think what your response would be to these questions.

Inspire, to me, involves changing the way people think and feel about
themselves so that they will want to take positive actions. The best way
to inspire others is to have interest in not only what you do, but to also
recognise your staff and take the opportunity to see them grow and
change. I would share my personal stories of my journey in SPS. This would
help my staff to avoid repeating the same mistakes I have made in the
past, and to be optimistic in scaling towards greater heights.

Inspired Actions
Counsellors and psychologists can spend hours in one to one sessions
helping inmates to process their pent up frustrations, reorganise their
thoughts and lead them back to the right track.
Officers not only ensure discipline but also genuinely care
for their charges by case managing their reintegration and
rehabilitative needs, conducting regular and purposeful
interviews and even acting as life coaches, finding all means
necessary to inspire hope and motivate change in them.
SCORE works with a multitude of agencies to ensure
that inmates get the opportunity to learn new skills
and then place them in jobs upon their release.
With a new found confidence and hard work, prison
becomes a gateway to new beginnings.
Inspiring community action through the conduct of visits for key partners in
rehabilitation remains a strong suit of our officers. By better understanding what
prisons are like, volunteers feel safe to come in and change the lives of offenders.
Amongst the many words of advice, hopefully one would
stick and make a difference. Officers seize every chance
and every opportunity to coach their inmates, hoping
for that one day when they can achieve a life-changing
breakthrough with them.
Dealing with requests and making sure that they are
followed up with swiftly is just one of the many ways
officers show that they care for their charges.
Counsellors conducting the Intergrated Criminogenic Programme,
helping to change deepset drug and criminal mindsets. In groups,
inmates form new identities, understand themselves better and seek to set
new goals for their lives ahead as responsible citizens.
Officers play a critical part in motivating
inmates, sharing real life experiences and
stories that can stir hearts and minds. Addressing
hundreds of inmates in a single setting can be
an intimidating experience, but the effort is
worth it when we see the smiles on their faces.
Laughter and camaraderie helps to lift our spirits and keeps us accountable to
one another for the tasks at hand. Sharing of successful inmate stories of change
during handing and taking over of duty can be a great way to build confidence
and belief in the work that we do.
We are a family, we are the Singapore Prison Service.
As Captains of Lives, it is not just about inspiring the lives

Success Story of a Reformed Ex-Offender
Once Upon A Time
At the tender age of 10, I started fraternising with dubious “friends” who plied my
neighbourhood – one that was notorious for its disreputable activities and seedy
characters. Before I knew it, I was drawn into the exciting world of illicit drugs. It
did not help that I was young, impressionable and exposed. It did not strike my
mind that what started off as a curious experiment would mark the beginning of
my loathsome life, marked by periods of drug abuse and wasteful indulgences.
I was 14 when I found out that I was adopted. I felt hurt and betrayed. Like a recalcitrant child, I rebelled by leaving
home. I felt the need to isolate and detach from the family that raised me as their biological child. For reasons I could
not comprehend, I wanted them to hurt like how I was hurting.
Like any other teenage runaway, I learned to survive on the streets. I was quickly inducted into a gang and, in no time,
adapted to its wretched habits and lifestyle. I realised that I needed an income and I needed it fast. I learnt the tricks
of the trade that took me from drug trafficking to a myriad of other illegal dealings. Consumed by the financial power I
thought I had, I lived frivolously and dangerously. I squandered my ill-gotten gains on illicit drugs, and it was a matter of
time before I became severely addicted.
Life became lonely and I craved for the warmth of my family. I swallowed my pride and went home for a visit. I was heartened
by their unconditional acceptance, but my guilt towards them was so overpowering that I chose to leave again.

how to go about doing it.
The Turn
Recently, I was imprisoned for the fourth time. While serving
time, I was selected to participate in the ten-month Pre Release
Programme in Institution B4. The group structure was initially
uncomfortable for me. I was inwardly resistant and outwardly
reticent. I felt that it was out of my character to share secrets
that have plagued me for my entire life, and I was sceptical
to do so in the presence of fellow inmates. I had, after all, a

The Yellow Ribbon Project:
A Decade of
Inspiring
Lives
The Seed
The seed of inspiration for the Yellow Ribbon Project (YRP) was planted ten years
ago at the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) clubhouse. Mr Jason Wong, then CEO
of Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises (SCORE), remembers the
day when a few SPS colleagues and families were gathered in a karaoke room
singing “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree”. The song speaks about a
prisoner who, being unsure of his wife’s acceptance, wrote a letter to her before
his release. He told her, “Tie a yellow ribbon ‘round the old oak tree… If I don’t
see a ribbon round the old oak tree, I’ll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the
blame on me.”
Through this song, Mr Jason Wong saw the potential of using the Yellow Ribbon
to symbolise the acceptance ex-offenders seek and need from society. The
Yellow Ribbon thus became the unifying theme for the series of efforts by SPS
and SCORE to generate acceptance for ex-offenders. This seed soon blossomed
into a sturdy tree thanks to the support from the community.

release cohort to 23.6 per cent for the 2010 release cohort.

Although fewer are returning to prison, those who do so
are repeat offenders. Such repeat offenders comprise
more than 80 per cent of the prison population, and many
of them have drug antecedents.
To break the cycle of re-offending, strengthen aftercare
support and improve the reintegration of ex-inmates into
society, SPS will be implementing the Conditional Remission
System (CRS) and Mandatory Aftercare Scheme (MAS) in
2014. Ops Div has played a key role in the development of
amendments to the Prisons Act to effect these initiatives.

In an increasingly complex social landscape, Provost has identified raising the capabilities of

More Investigation Officers (IOs) were thus sent for Intermediate and Advance Investigation
Courses. This is in line with Provost’s long term target of training and grooming younger IOs
to enhance their capabilities and have as many of them clear the highly rigorous Advance
course as possible. Attaining the Advance level means that the officers will be able to

There was a review of the inmates’ allocation matrix by the
HQ Ops Division. As part of the review outcome, AWP was to
house all local short sentence inmates. In June 2013, a mass
transfer of 146 local short sentence inmates from Cluster B to
AWP was carried out over three days.

namely, Admiralty West Prison

(CWPD), Selarang Park Community

Tanah Merah Prison (TMP).
I was glad to know that he had been
in the community for more than two
years. While life had never been
short of challenges for him, he was
determined not to go back to his old
ways. He was also taking some courses
to upgrade himself.
As a Captain of Lives, it is always a wonderful
feeling to know that an ex-inmate is giving his all to
remain in the community and constantly improving himself.
After this inspiring encounter, I learnt to value every opportunity given to me
to counsel inmates as that may be a chance to change an individual forever.

Employability Skills Training Programmes are provided by Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises (SCORE) to equip inmates with relevant job skills. SCORE’s training system is
aligned to Singapore Workforce Development Agency’s (WDA) Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) framework. Examples of training offered include Workplace Literacy and Numeracy
(WPLN), Employability Skills, Certified Service Professional (CSP) and Certified Operations Specialist (COS). Vocational skills training such as the National ITE Certificate (NITEC) in Electronics, Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) Operate Forklift and Certificate in Generic Manufacturing (CGM) were also conducted.
Work programmes aim to impart vocational and employability skills through on-the-job training. Discipline, and positive work ethics and values are inculcated by immersing inmates in
real work environment within prisons.
