The prison environment can be a dim place, where inmates face a host of emotional challenges such as sense of loss, loneliness, anxiety concerns over family members, loss of purpose, frustration and anger.
Interaction with the external community can address or help inmates cope with some of these challenges to complement rehabilitation programs already put in place by Singapore Prison.
CCS volunteers visit inmates in Singapore Changi prison several times a week, serving the needs of inmates whether as befrienders or teaching in areas of specific interest.
CCS volunteers who are predominantly Christians having experienced the love of God themselves, passionately volunteer their time to interact with inmates primarily as befrienders by providing a listening ear and sharing with them life skills. Programs conducted by CCS volunteers can be either Christian-based or faith-neutral to inmates from different religious background.
