### 1) What “Singapore prison” usually means in practice

In Singapore, “prisons” are administered primarily by the **Singapore Prison Service (SPS)**, a government agency under the **Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)**. SPS’s core mandate is **secure custody** and **rehabilitation** of offenders, with an explicit emphasis on reducing re-offending through a “custody + rehabilitation + aftercare” pipeline rather than custody alone. ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

A useful mental model is that Singapore’s corrections system is designed as a **throughcare system**:

* **In-care** (inside institutions): classification, security, core programmes (psychology-based, education, skills, family support, etc.)
* **Community phase** (towards the tail-end and/or after release): structured supervision plus reintegration supports (work, family, counselling, case management)
  This “in-custody + community continuation” model is explicitly described by MHA as a “throughcare approach.” ([Ministry of Home Affairs][2])

---

### 2) Organisational structure and where prisons are concentrated

SPS states that it **administers 14 institutions** and also runs community supervision / rehabilitation nodes such as the **Selarang Park Community Supervision Centre (SPCSC)** and **Community Rehabilitation Centre (CRC)**. These line units are grouped under commands (Clusters and community/operations commands). ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

In everyday conversation, the most recognisable physical anchor is the **Changi area**, because Singapore’s prison infrastructure has been consolidated over time into large integrated complexes (rather than many small scattered jails). One prominent integrated site is **Selarang Park Complex (SPC)**, described by MHA as an integrated correctional facility leveraging technology for rehabilitation and reintegration. SPC includes:

* a **Drug Rehabilitation Centre (Institution S1)**
* a **Work Release Centre (Institution S2)**
* **Selarang Park Community Supervision Centre**
* a **Prison Link Centre** (for visits)
* a **Quarantine Centre** and a **Halfway House**
  MHA also notes it supports vocational opportunities for **over 3,000** inmates/supervisees. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][3])

This matters because, operationally, Singapore’s system is built around **integrated hubs**: custody, programmes, and structured step-down/community mechanisms sit in the same ecosystem.

---

### 3) Key correctional concepts you will see in Singapore

#### A) Penal custody vs. remand

Singapore distinguishes between:

* **Remand inmates** (awaiting trial / sentencing outcomes)
* **Sentenced inmates** (serving imprisonment terms)

This difference shows up even in family contact rules (visit frequency differs). ([Singapore Prison Service][4])

#### B) Drug Rehabilitation Centres (DRC) and a dedicated regime

Singapore runs a dedicated **Drug Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) regime**, and drug-related populations are tracked distinctly in recidivism reporting (because the risk factors and relapse dynamics differ). The official annual statistics highlight that DRC recidivism patterns are tracked separately and can be higher than overall rates.

#### C) Community-based “step-down” arrangements

Singapore uses structured “serve the tail-end under supervision” mechanisms. In MHA’s parliamentary explanation of the Prisons Act evolution, you see multiple frameworks:

* **Work Release Scheme (WRS)** (historically introduced to allow supervised work outside prison at the tail-end)
* **Home Detention Scheme (HDS)** (eligible inmates serve the tail-end outside prison, e.g., at residence, under strict conditions)
* **Mandatory Aftercare Scheme (MAS)** (enhanced community support + tight supervision; can include curfew and electronic monitoring) ([Ministry of Home Affairs][5])

These are not “informal probation”; they are structured correctional tools embedded in legislation and policy design.

---

### 4) Safety, discipline, and performance indicators (what the system reports publicly)

SPS publishes annual statistics that include both custody integrity and outcomes.

From the **SPS/YRSG Annual Statistics Release for 2024** (released February 11, 2025):

* **No escapes from custody** were reported for the year. ([Singapore Prison Service][6])
* **Assault rate** (reported for the first three quarters of FY2024) is stated as **41.9 assaults per 10,000 inmates**, with SPS describing it as low/stable.
* **Two-year overall recidivism**: **21.3%** for the **2022 release cohort**, down from 22.0% for the preceding cohort.
* **Five-year overall recidivism**: **36.6%** for the **2019 release cohort** (down from 41.7% for the 2015 cohort).
* **Five-year DRC recidivism**: **43.0%** for the **2019 DRC cohort** (improved from 48.9% for the 2015 DRC cohort, but still higher than overall).
* **Two-year DRC recidivism**: SPS notes an increase from **27.7%** (2021 cohort) to **30.8%** (2022 cohort).

They also report population counts (helpful to understand scale):

* **In-care**: **8,336** (2024)
* **Community Corrections**: **2,498** (2024)
* **Total**: **10,834** (2024)

These metrics show Singapore’s public-facing correctional narrative: strong custody integrity (no escapes), low institutional violence, and a policy priority of lowering re-offending through structured throughcare.

### 5) Rehabilitation and reintegration: what is emphasised (and how it is operationalised)

MHA describes rehabilitation as multi-track: psychology-based programmes, education, family programmes, work programmes, skills training, and religious services—followed by community continuation. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][2])

Two especially central “bridges” between prison and society are:

#### A) Community-Based Programmes (CBP)

SPS describes CBP as an arrangement where inmates may be emplaced **towards the tail-end** of the sentence to support reintegration; for DRC inmates, CBP is part of the drug rehabilitation regime and placement is assessed by SPS (families do not “apply” in the normal way). ([Singapore Prison Service][7])

#### B) Yellow Ribbon ecosystem (public acceptance + employment)

The **Yellow Ribbon Project (YRP)** was launched in **2004** and is framed as a community effort to increase acceptance and support for ex-offenders and their families. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][8])
On the employment side, Yellow Ribbon Singapore describes functions like job placement matching and case management to stabilise employment outcomes. ([Default][9])

---

### 6) Visits and contact with inmates: the “official process” (high-level, practical)

SPS publishes detailed visit rules. Key operational points:

#### A) Booking channels and lead time

Bookings are made through:

* an **online booking portal** (iPRIS) using SingPass (for the “Main Card Holder” and authorised visitors),
* **self-service kiosks** at Prison Link Centres,
* or a **visit booking hotline**. ([Singapore Prison Service][10])

Operational constraints include:

* Bookings/cancellations/modifications must be made **at least two days in advance**.
* **Walk-in visit requests are not allowed.** ([Singapore Prison Service][10])

#### B) Punctuality and registration requirements

SPS instructs visitors to arrive early to obtain a queue number:

* **30–45 minutes** before a face-to-face session
* **15–30 minutes** before a tele-visit session ([Singapore Prison Service][11])

#### C) Visit frequency (by inmate category)

SPS lists typical tele-visit frequencies:

* Penal inmates: **2 visits/month** (max **1** face-to-face/month)
* DRC inmates: **2 visits/month** (max **1** face-to-face/month)
* Inhalant abusers: **2 visits/month** (max **1** face-to-face/month)
* Remand inmates: **4 visits/week** (max **2** face-to-face/week) ([Singapore Prison Service][4])

#### D) Where visits happen (Prison Link Centres)

SPS lists multiple **Prison Link Centres** (PLCs) such as Changi, Selarang Park, Tanah Merah, etc., and also notes that some satellite centres provide tele-visits only after initial verification at a PLC. ([Singapore Prison Service][12])

---

### 7) Technology in corrections (why Singapore is often cited internationally)

MHA explicitly frames SPS transformation around:

* leveraging technology (e.g., facial recognition for checks, tablets for rehabilitation applications),
* expanding community corrections,
* and “learning prison” concepts that push inmates to take more ownership of rehabilitation. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][2])

Selarang Park Complex is also described as leveraging technology for rehab and reintegration. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][3])
This is one reason Singapore’s system is frequently referenced in policy discussions: the state tries to fuse **control + programmes + measurable outcomes** into a single operating model.

---

### 8) A practical “myth check”: the viral “floating prison” claim

A recurring online rumour claims Singapore launched a “floating prison.” This specific claim has been fact-checked as **baseless** by AFP. ([AFP 팩트체크][13])
For Singapore corrections topics, prioritising SPS/MHA primary sources reduces the risk of misinformation.

## 한국어

### 1) “싱가포르 교도소”를 말할 때 실제로 무엇을 의미하나

싱가포르의 교정시설(교도소·교정기관 운영)은 주로 **싱가포르 교정청(SPS, Singapore Prison Service)**이 담당하며, **내무부(MHA)** 산하 정부기관으로 운영됩니다. SPS는 “수용의 안전성(secure custody)”과 “재활(rehabilitation)”을 핵심 임무로 둡니다. ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

싱가포르 교정정책을 이해할 때 가장 중요한 키워드는 **“스루케어(throughcare)”**입니다. 즉,

* 시설 내 수용 기간에 위험요인·필요를 다루고,
* 출소(또는 지역사회 전환) 이후에도 감독·지원이 이어지는 구조를 공식적으로 강조합니다. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][2])

---

### 2) 조직 구조와 시설 집중(클러스터·통합단지 개념)

SPS는 **14개 기관(institutions)**과 더불어 **Selarang Park Community Supervision Centre(SPCSC)**, **Community Rehabilitation Centre(CRC)** 등 지역사회 감독/재활 거점을 운영한다고 밝힙니다. 또한 이 라인 유닛들을 **Cluster A/B/C** 등 여러 커맨드로 묶어 운영합니다. ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

현장에서 눈에 띄는 특징은 “여러 기능이 한 곳에 모인 통합 허브” 방식입니다. 대표 사례로 **셀라랑 파크 컴플렉스(Selarang Park Complex, SPC)**는 MHA가 “기술을 활용한 재활·재통합 통합 교정시설”로 소개하며, 구성 요소로

* **약물재활센터(Instituion S1, DRC)**
* **워크 릴리즈 센터(Instituion S2)**
* **지역사회 감독센터(SPCSC)**
* **면회 거점(Prison Link Centre)**
* **격리(Quarantine) 시설**, **하프웨이 하우스**
  를 명시합니다. 또한 3,000명 이상에게 직업훈련 기회를 제공할 수 있다고 설명합니다. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][3])

---

### 3) 싱가포르 교정에서 자주 등장하는 제도·용어

#### A) 미결수용(Remands)과 기결수용(형 집행)

미결(재판·선고 대기)과 기결(형 집행)은 제도적으로 구분되며, **면회 빈도** 같은 운영 규정에도 차이가 반영됩니다. ([Singapore Prison Service][4])

#### B) DRC(Drug Rehabilitation Centre) 체계

싱가포르는 **약물 관련 수용·재활을 별도 체계(DRC)**로 다루고, 재범률 통계에서도 DRC 집단을 따로 추적합니다(전체 재범률보다 DRC가 높게 나타나는 경우가 있음).

#### C) 지역사회 전환형 제도(HDS·MAS 등)

MHA의 설명(Prisons Act 맥락)에서 대표적인 “테일엔드(형기 말)·출소 후” 제도는 다음과 같습니다.

* **HDS(Home Detention Scheme)**: 일정 요건 충족 시, 형기 말 부분을 거주지 등에서 엄격한 조건 하에 집행
* **MAS(Mandatory Aftercare Scheme)**: 재범 위험이 높거나 추가 지원이 필요한 출소자에게 상담·사례관리·감독을 강화(통행금지시간, 전자감독 등 조건 포함 가능) ([Ministry of Home Affairs][5])

또한 Prisons Act 개정과 관련해 “형기의 2/3 지점에서 가석방(감면) 가능”과 같은 운영 원칙 및 예외적 조정(법원 명령 처벌 집행을 위한 일정 범위 내 연기 등)도 MHA가 공지 형태로 설명합니다. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][14])

---

### 4) 공개 통계로 보는 운영 성과(안전·재범률·규모)

**SPS/YRSG 2024 연간통계 발표(2025-02-11 공개)**에서 SPS는 다음을 제시합니다.

* **수용 중 탈주 0건** ([Singapore Prison Service][6])
* FY2024(초 3분기 기준) **폭행율 10,000명당 41.9건**(낮고 안정적이라고 설명)
* **2년 재범률**: 2022 출소 코호트 **21.3%**(전년 22.0% 대비 하락)
* **5년 재범률**: 2019 코호트 **36.6%**(2015 코호트 41.7% 대비 하락)
* **DRC 5년 재범률**: 2019 코호트 **43.0%**(2015 코호트 48.9% 대비 개선, 다만 전체보다 높음)
* **DRC 2년 재범률**: 2021 코호트 27.7% → 2022 코호트 30.8%로 상승했다고 명시

또한 규모(2024 기준):

* 시설 내 수용(In-care) **8,336명**
* 지역사회 교정(Community Corrections) **2,498명**
* 합계 **10,834명**

요약하면, 싱가포르 교정은 “탈주 억제·질서 유지” 같은 **운영 안정성**과 “재범률 하향” 같은 **성과 지표**를 매우 전면에 놓고 설명하는 구조입니다.

---

### 5) 재활·재통합을 실제로 어떻게 굴리나(프로그램과 파트너십)

MHA는 재활을 심리기반 교정프로그램, 교육, 가족 프로그램, 취업·기술훈련, 종교 서비스 등 다층 프로그램으로 설명하며, 출소 후 지역사회 단계까지 이어지는 구조를 강조합니다. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][2])

#### A) CBP(Community-Based Programmes)

SPS는 CBP를 “형기 말에 지역사회에서 점진적으로 재통합을 준비하는 제도”로 소개합니다. 특히 DRC 수용자는 CBP가 약물재활 레짐의 일부로 편성되며, 적합성 평가 후 배치되고 가족이 임의 신청하는 방식이 아니라는 점을 명시합니다. ([Singapore Prison Service][7])

#### B) 옐로 리본(사회적 수용 + 고용)

**옐로 리본 프로젝트(YRP)**는 2004년 출범했으며, 출소자와 가족에 대한 **사회적 수용·지지**를 확산하는 것을 목표로 제시합니다. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][8])
옐로 리본 측은 구직 매칭, 사례관리(직장 적응·유지 지원) 같은 기능을 명확히 안내합니다. ([Default][9])

---

### 6) 면회(방문) 규정: 핵심만 정확히

SPS는 면회를 “예약 기반”으로 강하게 운영합니다.

* 예약은 온라인(iPRIS), Prison Link Centre 키오스크, 전화 등으로 진행되며, **예약·취소·변경은 최소 2일 전**에 해야 하고 **워크인(당일 방문 요청)은 불가**라고 명시합니다. ([Singapore Prison Service][10])
* 방문 당일에는 등록을 위해

  * 대면 면회 **30~45분 전**,
  * 화상(텔레) 면회 **15~30분 전** 도착을 요구합니다. ([Singapore Prison Service][11])
* 면회 빈도(텔레 기준)는 수용자 유형별로 다르며, 예를 들어 기결수·DRC·흡입제 남용자는 월 2회(대면은 월 1회 제한), 미결수는 주 4회(대면은 주 2회 제한) 등으로 안내됩니다. ([Singapore Prison Service][4])
* Prison Link Centre 위치(Changi, Selarang Park, Tanah Merah 등)와 위성(텔레 전용) 센터 운영 조건(초회 인증 필요 등)도 SPS가 목록으로 제공합니다. ([Singapore Prison Service][12])

### 1) シンガポールの「刑務所」とは

シンガポールでは、矯正施設の運営主体は主に **Singapore Prison Service（SPS）**で、**内務省（MHA）**の下に置かれる政府機関です。SPSは「厳格な収容の安全」と「更生（リハビリ）」を中核任務として明確に掲げています。 ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

制度設計のキーワードは **Throughcare（スルーケア）**で、施設内での介入に加え、社会内（出所後・移行期）の支援・監督まで一体で扱う考え方が公的に説明されています。 ([Ministry of Home Affairs][2])

---

### 2) 施設の集約と統合ハブ

SPSは **14の機関（institutions）**に加え、**Selarang Park Community Supervision Centre（SPCSC）**や **Community Rehabilitation Centre（CRC）**等を運営し、クラスター（Cluster A/B/C など）とコミュニティ矯正・運用保安の指揮系統で整理しているとしています。 ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

統合施設の例として **Selarang Park Complex（SPC）**があり、MHAはこれを「技術を活用し、リハビリと社会復帰を促進する統合矯正施設」と説明しています。SPCには、

* Institution S1（DRC：薬物リハビリ）
* Institution S2（Work Release）
* コミュニティ監督センター
* Prison Link Centre（面会拠点）
* Quarantine Centre、Halfway House
  が含まれるとされています。 ([Ministry of Home Affairs][3])

---

### 3) 主要概念：DRC、HDS、MAS

* **DRC（Drug Rehabilitation Centre）**は薬物関連の更生を別枠で扱い、再犯率も全体とは別に追跡されます。
* **HDS（Home Detention Scheme）**は、要件を満たす受刑者が刑期末尾を施設外（居住地など）で厳格な条件下に過ごす制度。
* **MAS（Mandatory Aftercare Scheme）**は、再犯リスクが高い等の対象に、相談・ケース管理・厳格な監督（外出制限・電子監視など）を課す制度。 ([Ministry of Home Affairs][5])

---

### 4) 公表統計（安全性・再犯率・規模）

SPS/YRSGの2024年統計発表（2025年2月11日公表）では、

* 収容中の **脱走ゼロ**
* 2022年出所コホートの **2年再犯率 21.3%**
* 2019年コホートの **5年再犯率 36.6%**
* DRC 2019年コホートの **5年再犯率 43.0%**
  などが示されています。 ([Singapore Prison Service][6])
  人口規模（2024年）は、施設内 8,336、コミュニティ矯正 2,498、合計 10,834 と報告されています。

---

### 5) 面会（予約主義の運用）

SPSの面会ルールは実務的に「予約がすべて」です。

* 予約の取消・変更を含め **少なくとも2日前**、**当日飛び込み不可** ([Singapore Prison Service][10])
* 受付は、対面 **30–45分前**、遠隔（テレ） **15–30分前**の到着が求められます。 ([Singapore Prison Service][11])
* 面会回数は受刑者区分で異なり、たとえば受刑者/DRC等は月2回（対面は月1回上限）、未決は週4回（対面は週2回上限）等が示されています。 ([Singapore Prison Service][4])

### 1) Qué es “la prisión en Singapur” (en términos institucionales)

En Singapur, la administración penitenciaria recae principalmente en **Singapore Prison Service (SPS)**, una agencia gubernamental bajo el **Ministerio del Interior (MHA)**. Su misión combina **custodia segura** y **rehabilitación**, y el Gobierno describe el enfoque como **“throughcare”**: intervención en prisión y continuidad en la comunidad tras la salida. ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

---

### 2) Complejos integrados y concentración de funciones

SPS indica que administra **14 instituciones** y también centros de supervisión/rehabilitación comunitaria (p. ej., **SPCSC** y **CRC**), organizados por clústeres y mandos operativos. ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

Un ejemplo clave de “hub” integrado es **Selarang Park Complex (SPC)**. MHA lo describe como una instalación correccional integrada que aprovecha tecnología para rehabilitación y reinserción. Incluye **Institution S1 (DRC)**, **Institution S2 (Work Release)**, centro de supervisión comunitaria, **Prison Link Centre**, cuarentena y halfway house. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][3])

---

### 3) Piezas del modelo: DRC, HDS y MAS

* **DRC (Drug Rehabilitation Centre)**: régimen específico para infractores/usuarios vinculados a drogas; la reincidencia se reporta separadamente.
* **HDS (Home Detention Scheme)**: tramo final de condena fuera de prisión bajo condiciones estrictas.
* **MAS (Mandatory Aftercare Scheme)**: apoyo comunitario reforzado + supervisión estricta (incluye, por ejemplo, toque de queda y monitoreo electrónico). ([Ministry of Home Affairs][5])

---

### 4) Indicadores públicos (seguridad y reincidencia)

En la publicación anual de estadísticas 2024 (difundida el 11 feb 2025), SPS reporta:

* **cero fugas** de custodia,

* **reincidencia a 5 años: 36,6%** para la cohorte 2019,
* **DRC a 5 años: 43,0%** para la cohorte DRC 2019,
  y cifras de población (2024): **8.336** en-cuidado, **2.498** en correcciones comunitarias (total **10.834**). ([Singapore Prison Service][6])

---

### 5) Visitas: sistema por reserva (puntos críticos)

SPS exige un esquema formal:

* cambios/cancelaciones/reservas **con al menos 2 días**; **sin visitas “walk-in”** ([Singapore Prison Service][10])
* llegada anticipada para registro (cara a cara 30–45 min; tele-visita 15–30 min) ([Singapore Prison Service][11])
* frecuencias por categoría (p. ej., penales/DRC: 2 al mes con límite de 1 presencial; remand: 4 por semana con límite de 2 presenciales). ([Singapore Prison Service][4])

### 1) De quoi parle-t-on quand on dit “la prison à Singapour” ?

À Singapour, l’administration pénitentiaire relève principalement de la **Singapore Prison Service (SPS)**, une agence sous l’autorité du **Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)**. L’approche mise en avant combine **sécurité de la détention** et **réhabilitation**, avec une logique de **throughcare** (prise en charge en détention puis continuité dans la communauté). ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

---

### 2) Une logique de “complexes intégrés”

SPS indique administrer **14 institutions** ainsi que des structures de supervision/réhabilitation communautaires (p. ex. **SPCSC** et **CRC**), organisées en clust ers et commandements. ([Singapore Prison Service][1])

Le **Selarang Park Complex (SPC)** illustre cette logique : MHA le décrit comme un site correctionnel intégré, s’appuyant sur la technologie pour la réhabilitation et la réintégration. Il comprend notamment **Institution S1 (DRC)**, **Institution S2 (Work Release)**, un centre de supervision communautaire, un **Prison Link Centre**, un centre de quarantaine et un halfway house. ([Ministry of Home Affairs][3])

---

### 3) Dispositifs structurants : DRC, HDS, MAS

* **DRC (Drug Rehabilitation Centre)** : régime dédié pour les problématiques liées aux drogues, avec suivi statistique spécifique de la récidive.
* **HDS (Home Detention Scheme)** : exécution de la fin de peine hors établissement sous conditions strictes.
* **MAS (Mandatory Aftercare Scheme)** : accompagnement renforcé + supervision stricte (couvre-feu, surveillance électronique, etc.). ([Ministry of Home Affairs][5])

---

### 4) Données publiques (sécurité, récidive, effectifs)

Dans la publication statistique 2024 (diffusée le 11 février 2025), SPS rapporte :

* **aucune évasion**,
* **récidive à 2 ans : 21,3 %** (cohorte 2022),
* **récidive à 5 ans : 36,6 %** (cohorte 2019),
* **DRC à 5 ans : 43,0 %** (cohorte DRC 2019),
  et les effectifs 2024 : **8 336** en détention (“incare”), **2 498** en corrections communautaires (total **10 834**). ([Singapore Prison Service][6])

---
