The Singapore Prison Service should look into and address the issues faced by inmates who have to travel by public transport. A time study with additional time allocated for delays during meals, walking, transportation duration, etc. should be given. We should give them more if they show that they are putting in effort to reintegrate with the society. They should not be disheartened or discouraged to go to work.

[@thestaringenclave]

I believe the time given must have been studied properly already but perhaps can be updated every now and then to see if it's still reasonable. But also not forgetting, it's meant to be tight because they don't want the supervisee gallivanting outside, giving allowance for delays etc could easily be abused especially when it's so difficult to prove. Afterall, they are not exactly completely out of their prison regiment yet.

Good job again team CNA. I enjoyed the previous series. After watching this episode, I realised that these featured guys had mostly dealt w drugs. I read tt those w drugs experiences, tend to fall back to it. Not wishing any of these guys to be tempted again. Just a realisation tt it might not exactly be them who want to offend again. But perhaps the drugs previously taken had an invisible bondage. Just a thought. Not excusing their offences, but trying to understand the repeated offences. Wishing them all success in leading fulfilling drug free lives once out of prison. Curious too why the production team had chosen to focus on drug offenders. It will be interesting to find out more about 'well educated' offenders (i.e. those who w high profiles and yet committed crimes). How are these people taught to conform to the law then (esp when they are already so 'well educated')? I guess it shows how humans truly are... tt regardless of our education background, we all may still falter. God help us.

Graceson doesn’t seem to have good self control. Eg being really annoyed that his clothes weren’t washed when returned to him. He was picked up by a Mercedes.

In addition, people who are outside, living a normal life, please cherish your daily life and do whatever is meaningful and beneficial. Don't commit crimes and don't waste precious time in there !

Remember to seek for help from the right people and do not suffer alone. What u did in the past were not because you were evil but was the lack of support and understanding from others.

Pray for Light every single day without fail. Darkness is still inside your mind right now. Whatever your religion, Light and darkness will always exist in this world. The stronger ones will listen to Light, while the weaker ones will fall into darkness. Light will give your the strength you need, PROVIDED you ASK for it. It will not come uninvited to your house.

They would complain about the pay not enough etc. but in the cases shown here, Grayson took mc to go out and hang out with friends.

I find boon keng's reason more valid, he needs to pay maintenance fee to his ex-wife, the salary of a hotel receptionist is honestly too low. He said he plans to work more hours as a food delivery rider in order to earn more. Assuming he is telling the truth, that actually sounds like a better plan. As for graceson, he's being dishonest even before the release. Took MC but went to meet friends, if I were his future employer, I would question his attitude at work. He keeps complaining about people discriminating ex-offenders, but his actions couldn't convince people to trust him.

Graceson also somehow thinks he got treated unfairly when he chao keng MC and didn’t follow SOP. Like bruh you are still technically serving your sentence they are giving you a privilege to work outside first and enjoy some freedom earlier. He seems to have this victim mindset where he keeps blaming everything else other than taking responsibility for himself.

Graceson has anger issues, lack self-discipline.. i believe he did change for the better in those years in prison.. he still need to have a better hold on himself. His anger and self discipline may cost him his family His wife has mentioned in the 1st series that he needs to do better else she will divorce him. I really hope he can focus more on his family.. to reflect on his own issues.. and if he persists.. it will cost him those things and pple he loves most 😐

[@suchintoh3159]

Not that I want to look down on Graceson but by seeing how he handle things...I think he will be back in prison again.

Awesome program. So nice to see a happy ending for those with new beginnings. Best wishes to them all.

[@ihughiyori4875]

this was truly such an amazing watch, i'm glad these inmates are able to reflect on their past actions and change from them. really warmed my heart!

I believe in front Infront of camera, filtration sure have one, a bit of wayang cannot run away one. Hope the reality is not diff much as it's shown. Good job to CNA for having this contents. Hope to have more real life stories to share. Its really remind those people outside of prison to enjoy freedom and appreciate life.

Thanks for helping those ppl in need, glad to see Boob Keng’s energy.

[@EriCFYK]

So far Boon Keng and Khai is the best la..Graceson still long way to go ....still need to control his anger and ego..too easy to lose control him..i think he might go in another time i guess..

[@ahtan9925]

As much as I want graceson to never enter prison.. I sincerely hope he learn from his deeds.. Chao Keng to get mc I feel it's ok, but at least have the basic courtesy to report ur status , not just go MIA.. no business will hire a person with such character.. it's okay to Keng.. everyone does it.. but be tactical about it lah.. I also have kids sick.. I also Keng mc.. but I still report my status to my bosses and let them know my whereabouts.. Graceson jiayou bro.. I'm rooting for u.. I honestly hope u will never go into prison but ur anger management need to adjust Abit lah..

[@Qoonutz]

All the best to all the 4 gentlemen.

[@HONG38]

to all of u. pls dont go back to crime. enjoy your freedoms. crime does not pay. all best to Boon Keng, Graceson and Khai. stay safe and take care

It would be interesting if they can, cause I know an inmate who was in jail for selling guns, he went to jail for 2 years, and he said he won't be selling guns. but then got caught selling fake merchandise and went to jail for 8 years, and he said he won't be selling fakes anymore, but guess what? he went to jail again for 3 mths, for creating an illegal gambling ring in his house. I haven't met him again but I doubt he has changed.

*I missed Sgt Muthan of the past episodes cos hes such a dedicated and professional officer and also Rusdi that candy collection inmate just hope to hear from both of them*

[@darrenchook2764]

Leopard never change its spot. Graceson will never change no matter what he says now. Always feel unfair even though he was wrong. He always feel angry over little things.

Community based program is a great success

[@deannatrois1]

I wish that UK prisoners had similiar schemes. We need things like this. Maybe with bunks rather than sleeping on the floor! I really like the psychological approach to helping candidates understand past mistakes and how not to repeat them, developing useful skills.

[@FunksyenSg]

[@elainev670]

So happy for Boon Keng! Congratulations and all the best in whatever you choose to do in the future!

[@roseze5830]

Been waiting for the 3rd and last installment! Love this series!!

[@zueinder89]

Actually, can we do one on like Hikkikomoris, or rather, in a broader aspect, social outcasts similar to a hikkikomori? Like social outcasts who probably look normal and maybe even have a job, but has just gradually moved away from the general society due to societal pressure?
