Prison Routine
All inmates generally have an hour of recreational time per day on weekdays. They can use this recreational time for physical exercise and ball games in the recreational yard or other activities, such as watching television programs and playing board games.
Besides recreational time, inmates may also be scheduled for rehabilitation programmes, such as Psychology Based Correctional Programmes (PCPs) and work programmes. Additionally, inmates will also receive family visits and attend religious counselling sessions.
In evenings, inmates have access to Digitisation of Inmate Rehabilitation and Corrections Tool (DIRECT). DIRECT comprises a suite of applications running on shared tablets issued to inmates to support their rehabilitation and self-directed learning.
With DIRECT, inmates have access to digital resources, such as e-letters, e-books and rehabilitation programmes through e-learning. Through e-letters, inmates can foster bonds with their loved ones, while e-learning materials enables them to learn at their own pace and take greater ownership of their rehabilitation.
An example of a daily prison routine is as follows:
