Objectives:

The primary objectives of the services are two-folded :

1.	to facilitate the prisoners' rehabilitation and their subsequent reintegration into the community through fostering rapport between prisoners, their families and the staff; and
2.	to help prisoners to lead a law-abiding and industrious life after release.

Functions and Services Provided

To ensure continued care and guidance, statutory supervision is provided for young prisoners and prisoners released under the "Release Under Supervision", "Pre-Release Employment", "Post-Release Supervision", "Conditional Release" and "Supervision After Release" Schemes. The rehabilitation staff on supervision duties, with the support of the families of prisoners, establish sound rapport with the prisoners and prepare them to face the challenges and demands to be expected on their return to the community. Continuous contact is maintained with every prisoner in the penal institution, and close supervision continues after release through regular visits made to the discharged prisoners' home or place of work.

Success rate for the supervision programmes is measured by the percentage of supervisees who complete statutory supervision without reconviction.
