More inmates secure employment prior to release

More inmates are getting employed even before they are released, said the Singapore Prisons Service (SPS).

In 2011, 1,586 inmates found jobs before being released, registering a 35 per cent increase from the previous year where only 1,172 secured employment.

This is a second year of positive growth, reported SPS in an annual report.

SPS attributed the rise to a corresponding increase in the number of employers that registered with the Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises (SCORE).
