Major General Do Ta Hao, Director of Department C86, gave a speech evaluating and concluding the contest. |
Currently, Prison No. 3 has about 1,500 juvenile inmates out of more than 2,300 inmates. Here, there are only male inmates, most of whom are serving long prison sentences, and basically do not have a stable job before serving their sentences. Therefore, programs such as "Lighting up dreams for a brighter tomorrow" are a bridge for interested political and social organizations and businesses to come to, creating an open direction for jobs after serving their prison sentences. This is also an opportunity for those who have made mistakes to once again have the confidence to become useful people for their families and society when reintegrating into the community. Moreover, the topic: "Learning the Constitution and the Law" is a practical content to equip them with basic knowledge of the Constitution and the law so that they can continue to integrate into the community without falling into the path of crime again.
