One hundred inmates at Buimo Correctional Institution in Lae, Morobe Province, have completed an eight-week pre-release training program. The program aimed to equip the inmates with practical skills to aid their successful reintegration into society after serving their sentences. This initiative highlights a focus on rehabilitation within the Papua New Guinean correctional system. The training is intended to improve the inmates’ prospects for employment and reduce recidivism rates. Details about the specific skills taught were not provided in the source material. The graduation signifies a “new beginning” for these individuals as they prepare for life outside of prison. Further information requires a subscription to Post Courier.
