‘Imprisonment should be last resort’


Kajang Prison is one of the largest correctional facilities in the country and has separate sections for men and women.

TODAY is Prison Day, an occasion to appreciate the work done by prison officers nationwide.

The 233rd Prison Day marks a continuation of the sea change in the way the Malaysian Prison Department (JPM) is dealing with the more than 60,000 prisoners nationwide, in advocating a more rehabilitative approach instead of a punitive one.
