The objectives of the workshop were to: i. Describe in detail the framework for the management reform provided by the Prisons Department; ii. Obtain input and recommendations from all relevant agencies to improve the framework; iii. Know and understand the constraints faced by the agencies in implementing these measures and how to address them; iv. Get other recommendations that could help implement the prison management reform. They invited 33 agencies, including government and Non-Governmental Organisations. There were 98 participants at the workshop. They were divided into four clusters to discuss in greater detail (i) Security and Correctional Clusters; (ii) Detainees Management Cluster; (iii) Infrastructure & Facility Clusters; and (iv) Local Cluster. All of these clusters were asked to provide inputs and suggestions to improve the framework provided by the Prisons Department. The refined feedback from the workshop will be considered for inclusion in the prison reform framework before being approved.
