KAJANG: Several prisons will be upgraded while those over 100 years old will be redeveloped to make them more conducive for inmates and Prisons Department staff.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said among those identified for that purpose are the Alor Setar prison in Kedah; Penang Prison, the Kamunting Correctional Centre and the Pengkalan Chepa Prison in Kelantan.
Saifuddin also said that the Home Ministry would add more Prison officers and personnel and also expedite the hiring process. At the same time, Saifuddin said the Home Ministry wanted to change public perception by identifying prisons as more of a correctional centre rather than a place to punish convicts.
