An inmate's first time behind bars can be tough but wardens at Changi Prison Complex (CPC) look out for signs of anxiety among new arrivals and will pull these inmates aside to reassure them that they will be kept safe.
Said Chief Warder 2 Chai Kuo Fatt, who handles prisoner requests and welfare: "It's challenging for them (inmates) and also for us. We don't want anything to happen to them. They are under our custody, (we have to) make sure they are safe."
