Previously, based on the proposal of 6 prisoners who met the criteria for special amnesty on the occasion of National Day, September 2 this year, the Provincial Police Detention Center combined the number of prisoners who were considered for sentence reduction and prisoners who were about to finish their sentences in August and September 2021 to organize a community reintegration class for 30 prisoners. The program focused on moral education, law and life skills.

These include contents such as the Law on Residence, job search skills, and community integration. In particular, the class also provides information on the socio-economic situation of the province, the characteristics of each locality, especially the current Covid-19 epidemic situation. On that basis, when returning to the community, students will not be confused and will soon determine their own direction.
