I send greetings from the staff and inmates of the Singapore Prison Service! We are honoured to be given the privilege to produce this newsletter for a term of 2 years (i.e. 2002 and 2003).
In this inaugural issue undertaken by the Singapore Prison Service, we have sought the in-house capabilities of our female inmates from the Singapore Changi Women’s Prison to deliver the entire issue from layout, design to final production and dissemination with guidance from staff.
This issue will bring to you exchanges on best correctional practices and sharing of current happenings in the respective Corrections. These articles have been contributed by the some of the APCCA member countries. I would like to encourage you to highlight any changes in top management in your Service for publication in our newsletter. The next issue will be out in December 2002.
The APCCA newsletter will be a good platform for Corrections in the Asian and Pacific region to share and learn from one another. We are all trying to improve and innovate in order to add value to the societies that we serve and the inmates that we seek to rehabilitate. After October this year, my department will also take over the APCCA website for a term of two years. I look forward to your continued support and may you enjoy reading through this issue!
