The Singapore Prison Service (SPS), is a uniformed organisation established in 1946, under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). From performing a custodial function to becoming a leading correctional agency with a stellar safety and security track record, SPS has progressed and transformed over the decades to become a leader in corrections, adopting an evidence-informed approach in rehabilitating inmates. In partnership and collaboration with Social Service Agencies (SSAs), Home Team Departments (HTDs) and the community, SPS has achieved low and stable recidivism rate over the years. The tagline emphasises the commitment of SPS and its staff to rehabilitate inmates who desire to change, so that they can renew and restart their lives for the better. SPS has been recognised as one of Singapore’s Best Employers – our staff, known as Captains of Lives, have been identified as highly engaged individuals. As Captains of Lives, we inspire everyone, at every chance, towards a society without re-offending.

"Sometimes the road can be winding, and sometimes the road can be difficult. It's definitely not going to be easy, but the first step needs to be taken. “ 💭

RO Jimmy Chan has already saved a life in uniform. At ICA, he pulled a drowning person from the water and performed CPR on duty. Then he chose to start again: back to the Home Team Academy, where he graduated top of his cohort academically, and into a new role as a Senior Correctional Unit Office in Cluster A.

Now he's looking 10 years ahead, at the Captain of Lives he wants to become and the lives he hopes to help rebuild.

From operating theme park rides to the managing inmate sentences, ASP Muhammad Mokhsin Kamarudin’s career switch certainly raised eyebrows.🎢 🤨

Before joining the Singapore Prison Service, ASP Muhammad Mokhsin worked as an attraction operator at Universal Studios Singapore.

Today, he’s a staff officer with SPS’s Sentence Management Branch, where he and his team ensures that inmates’ appeals and legal matters are handled on time. 📋

A theme park and a prison couldn’t be more different, but one thing carried over: communication. The empathy and active listening Mokhsin built on the job back then now help him understand the inmates he supports, one open-ended question at a time.

Proof that the road to becoming a doesn’t always start where you’d expect. 💙

We are so much more than our past. 💛

Three years in, the Desistor Network is still growing. On 9 October 2026, mentors, volunteers, community partners and desistors gathered to celebrate how far we’ve come together.

The people at the heart of this network are mentors, friends and community builders. Proof that with the right support, a second chance can grow into something far bigger than where it started.

The evening was a celebration of that growth: honouring mentors and partners whose dedication has built a stronger, more supportive community, and the ground-up efforts that keep opening pathways for desistors to give back.

Here's to being more than our past, together.

Yu Xiang used to be the person enforcing the rules. Now he's training to be someone who understands why they're broken.

As Standards Branch Head on his school's Prefectorial Board, Yu Xiang was strict, because that's what he thought discipline meant. Then one morning, a repeat latecomer showed up out of character. Instead of writing him up, Yu Xiang asked if he was okay.

That single question taught him more than any rulebook did.

It's the same instinct that followed him into an SPS internship, where he heard a desistor speak candidly about setbacks, relapses, and the people who never gave up on him. Yu Xiang realised then: rehabilitation isn't a system. It's a community.

He's currently completing his national service, and a recipient of the MHA Uniformed Scholarship with SPS. He hopes to read Law or Philosophy before returning to SPS — this time, in blue as a .

Applications for the MHA Uniformed Scholarship are open now. Apply here: https://www.psc.gov.sg/scholarships/apply-for-scholarship/psc-scholarships/

🎓 Sixteen inmates graduated from the Pro-Social Lifestyle Programme at Institution A1, the first time this programme has run at this institution, and its 15th run overall since 2022.

Finishing it wasn't easy. Eight sessions of real, honest work — healthy relationships, coping strategies and future planning — guided by counsellors from The New Charis Mission (TNCM) who've been through their own desistance journeys. 🤝

The programme is run pro bono by TNCM, a non-profit Institution of a Public Character, built on its own mission: to enable the disenfranchised through targeted programmes, tools and refuge. 🌱

Guest-of-Honour AC Mr Tan Eng Keong, Commander of Cluster A, presented certificates to the graduates.

So far, the programme has reached 136 participants across Institutions B4, S1, TM1 and A3 since 2022 — and after today, 16 more join that number.

✨ Hope and change start with a single step forward. ✨
