Halfway houses for paroled female prisoners needed to help with rehab

KAJANG: There is a need for halfway houses to be set up to accommodate paroled female prisoners and former female inmates who are looking for a job so they can be reintegrated into society, says the Prisons Department.

Its deputy director-general Datuk Ibrisam Abdul Rahman said currently, the department had 15 halfway houses that were created only for male prisoners only.
