Inside The Women's Prison
Women make up about 10% of Singapore’s prison population. And inside the walls of Institution A4, at the Changi Prison Complex, are about 800 female inmates, incarcerated for various offences.
But as different as they and their offences may be, they all have one thing in common – drugs. Majority of the female inmates at Changi have used and abused drugs or committed crimes related to drugs.
In this new series, our cameras take us inside the nation’s only women’s prison to see what life is like for a group of diverse inmates. We also meet the all-female team of prison officers watching over them and witness the relationships they build in that world behind bars.
