SINGAPORE - Women ex-offenders looking to reintegrate into society upon their release from prison will have a new sanctuary to help them reach their goals.
A spokesman for PPIS told The Straits Times that while drugs are a common offence among the residents, the halfway house does not limit itself only to former drug abusers. Speaking to around 100 guests at the opening ceremony, Minister of Home Affairs and Law K. Shanmugam said halfway houses like Rise Above will always have the Ministry of Home Affairs’ support.
He said that halfway houses like Rise Above, which are neither completely state-run or fully private, is “a typical Singaporean example.” “I have been a very strong supporter of this entire approach, which is in parallel to the correction system and system within prisons. This is extremely important,” he added.
The facility includes a sensory garden, gifted by social enterprise Edible Garden City, which residents tend to. The garden’s harvest is also used to prepare their meals.
