KUALA LUMPUR:  Five hundred juvenile inmates from 13 prison schools will be trained to use basic computer programs such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

This is all part of Microsoft Malaysia and the Prisons Department of Malaysia's objective to make these 16-to-21-year-old inmates digitally literate, to prepare them for jobs or further studies, later.
