Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Baey Yam Keng on technology for prison inmates' rehabilitation
The quickening pace of life and changes brought about by technology have impacted prison inmates. They will have to learn to live with technology when they are released. MP Baey Yam Keng, who raised this concern in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3), asked how technology can be incorporated into rehabilitation efforts. He also wanted to know how Singapore's prisons will ensure that inmates do not lose out on pre-COVID-19 programmes, such as in-person visits and physical engagements.
