The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) is a uniformed organisation under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). As a key member of the Home Team, our responsibilities encompass the safe custody, rehabilitation and aftercare of offenders, and preventive education.
Since our institutionalisation as a department in 1946, we have undergone a marked transformation to be one of the most progressive, secure, and exemplary prison systems that is recognised and respected internationally, dedicated to the cause of providing secure custody and steering offenders to become law-abiding citizens.
