The Jerudong Prison provides the minimum standard of living /treatment to the prisoners remanded while at the same time attempt to reform them by involving the prisoners in various vocational, spiritual, educational activities so that they can become useful citizens of the country after their release.
During the visit, the delegation saw replicas of the actual prison, as well as a demonstration of canning. Works of the inmates were also shown in a mini showroom.
