SINGAPORE – A study will be launched to better understand the effectiveness of imprisonment and alternatives such as community sentences, with the data intended for use in regular reviews of prison policies and processes.
SPS called for a tender on Feb 2 seeking a contractor to study the costs and benefits associated with the time offenders spend in custody and the period they spend in the community. The document states: “The contractor shall... determine the economic benefits that corrections bring to both the individual inmate and the wider Singapore society.”
“Currently, there are about 3,000 inmates each year on community corrections, compared with fewer than 1,000 in 2006.” The results of the study, which is to be completed within eight months of the contract being awarded, will be used in regular reviews of policies and processes, said SPS.
