KAJANG: Malaysia’s prison management could save up to RM182mil per year through the community rehabilitation of inmates, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.

He said that aside from being able to reduce the number of prisoners, 80% of inmates can fill jobs that previously called for foreign labourers.
