OUR STORY

What is common is not necessarily true. The proliferation of archaic concepts about crime and offending promotes and sustains the ignorance. Criminal offenders are the most marginalised group in society. Even stray animals are treated better.

The (mis)information instructs rehabilitation processes which has done little good towards its goal. In Singapore, almost half of prison release cohorts return to prison by the 5th year. Every year.

Where customer reviews are closest to a truthful representation of client satisfaction, rehabilitation services stand out uniquely. Recipients of the services have no means to offer honest feedback. Criminal offenders just don't have the bargaining power to counter what is dished out to them, due to the absolute authority of the opposing party. Rehabilitation is under the jurisdiction of the prison services, even if some are external third parties.

Doing anything less than agreeable risks being watched closer, as they have demonstrated increased possibility of returning to the behaviour that had gotten them in trouble with the criminal justice system and would get them into the same situation once again. How then can they feel safe in opening up to the prison officers, rehabilitation 'counsellors' and such? Can they expect the well-meaning care and support to be offered to them? Hardly.

Therefore regardless of the quality of the services, offenders will give the impression of having turned over a new leaf, only to reoffend once outside of the purview of the criminal justice system or when the next opportunity arises, which could be at the tail end of their sentence.

The outcome is tragic. Not only do they get arrested, they end up with a longer sentence as a repeat offender and made to shoulder the blame for the failure of the rehabilitation. Once again, they are condemned.

Hardly anyone questions if rehabilitation is indeed rehabilitative. It's taken for granted that it must be.

tter than more.
