Lions Club Joins In Effort To Rehabilitate Prisoners
Representatives from the Lions Club of Sungai Buloh were invited for a Special Briefing at Sungai Buloh Prison on 19/11/2011 (Saturday) from 8am-1pm to get a closer look at the On-going Efforts and Forthcoming Projects by the Prison to Rehabilitate Prisoners and help prepare them for Re-Entry into Society upon their Release.
The Lions Club was urged to join in the effort to educate Teenagers and Youths on the consequences of crime and how their life and potential of a bright future can all be destroyed due to ONE MOMENT OF MADNESS OR AVOIDABLE COSTLY MISTAKES.
The Prison Officials as well as the prisoners gave various sharings urging society to also join in the task of educating the general public “that crime does not pay!” It was an eye-opener for our Representatives to listen first-hand what Prisoners underwent in Prison, their problems, needs, regrets and yearning to start afresh! The Prisoners often faced discrimination and rejection from their family and society and this puts additional pressure on starting fresh and many are pushed to the edge and fall again into crime.
They need our support, understanding and willingness to give them a second chance. Will we?
