Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim on reducing risk of violence by ex-offenders
A slew of support initiatives and programmes is in place to help ensure that ex-offenders do not pose a risk to society. They are not subjected to electronic monitoring, as it is not appropriate to do so when they have not committed any further crime, said Minister of State for Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim. Replying to an MP's question in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 1), he outlined the measures to reduce their risk of committing violent acts again after they have been released. One way is to address the underlying issues. Those who are at risk are enrolled in psychology-based correctional programmes. The Singapore Prison Service also works with families and community partners to support ex-offenders.
