SINGAPORE – When Raj, not his real name, was in prison for the fourth time, he decided he had enough of life behind bars.
“I saw a lot of old people inside, they were 60, 70, 80 years old. I told myself, if I don’t change, I will be like one of them. I told my friends in prison: ‘This is our mirror,’” the repeat drug offender in his 30s says in an interview with The Straits Times at HEB-Ashram in Sembawang.
