I'm always curious about what's inside our Singapore Prison. Unlike what I saw in the movies, the place is so clean and well lighted. Bring us more of these videos that most of us Singaporeans rarely see. Thank you , you really did a good job. 👍

they will only show you the nice and clean part about prison. :)

[@Jinkypigs]

@@wstew yeah they purposely kept an unclean cell just for the fun of it eh? Idiocy needs to know some limit

[@Izo226]

The real prison, Changi Prison Complex, is even close to what is portrayed above. They are cells and concrete. The is a misrepresentation because the place shown here is not even called a prison, it is called a halfway house, Selarang Halfway House and Drug Rehabilitation Centre

[@wstew]

@@Jinkypigs first, curb your rudeness. I have been there.

[@mbud7577]

I was told in the 2000s that remand prisoners were kept in very poor conditions. Some inmates couldn't take it and went insane - small, dark cell with no fan and very, very hot. But maybe you think it's like a spa?

[@tanhuiling6600]

Interesting. Will not have the chance to see what it’s like inside Singapore Prison without your video

[@andreichan333]

This is Selarang camp. For drug rehabilitation. Not the real Changi Prison.

[@andreichan333]

I meant to say Selarang rehabilitation centre. Or whatever name it is called. Not the army camp.

[@darrelcks]

Wow thank you so much for this video. I must say even for local Singaporean we don't get the chance to see the inside of the prison so this is really an eye opener for us. Thanks for showing us a different side of Singapore and amazing it takes a foreigner to show us.

[@kelz1191]

This is not actual prison its selarang park complex aka halfway house

[@cwong5643]

Don't know how you managed to secure approval to interview those few persons and film the SP but this is so educational, good to know, and probably the best video in your channel! Thank you for this great work and giving us a better appreciation of our prison in Singapore. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Ghib!

[@Liz-ux8be]

Thanks for filming parts of the Changi prison, I have never imagine how it looks like inside the prion. It is very clean and decent. Is nice of you to interview the inmates and I feel they deserve a second chance too.

[@xfirefox_x]

i think this is the newer ones. the older prisons are very secluded

[@huaiwei]

Actually this is the Selarang Park Complex for drug offenders. The main Changi Prison Complex is a short distance away, and is much bigger. The facilities are likely harsher though, as we are talking about criminals with much harsher offenses and hence pose a higher risk.

[@veliking3175]

As mentioned by many others who commented, this is a very unique video. It is the part of Singapore where most Singaporeans are unfamiliar with. I have never visited the prison my entire life and can only imagine what it is like. This video really opens our eyes to the prison and prison services. Thanks for making this video and hope it will get the attention it deserves!

[@kelz1191]

Nope this is halfway house not actual prison.. prison buildings are called cluster A,B,C not s1,2,3

[@sktokyo9457]

Obviously a different touch from the usual videos, but I really enjoyed learning about this particular bit of Singapore, through your conversation with Jeremy. I like how it’s set up to support those finish their sentence, to slowly transition back into the society outside of the prison. Thanks for showing this Ghib!

[@Luna-yb4pw]

Seriously? I literally searched Singapore prison on KZbin just while ago and you uploaded this? Wow what a timing! So excited to watch this.

[@jayleyy]

Its definitely a different video, different from which you usually do but it has the same vibe because it's Ghib giving us the tour. Ghib, we really learn a lot from you.

I've always wanted to see what it looks like inside Changi Prison, and was so happy to be able to watch this! Only wished they let you see more of the prison though, like what the cells of the prisoners who committed murder looks like, and even the execution place. But I guess those areas will always be out of bounds.

[@kirakirayuuka]

Even the cell is pretty clean for a prison! The building too. Glad to see this other side of sg and u should show more! A pity that the video is not long enough.

… of course it is clean. Is a similar scenario where you clean your house or room before you invite your guests. Once your guests are gone, back to normal. Same theory here, they will show you the best case scenario.

Wow prison has been well improved since those old days, my father was a prison officer in the 90s and he used to tell me stories about his experience.

Not many have the chance to visit prison. Most of us try to avoid it, now I know how its like there. Times have change, and I’m glad that some prisons are adopting the open concept theme where you can still view the sunlight and the breeze. Bet its super cold at night …and they don’t have blankets to cover themselves…I think but…that’s Singapore prison.

No way, it is cleaner than the dormitories probably because the prisoners are required to keep their own areas clean or there might be consequences, however, the dormitory has bunk beds and proper toilets. If only it could be kept clean, it would be much better.

Almost like one of the prisons in Malaysia too.Im Malaysian and I visited one of the prisons in my country when we were in secondary school,with the school's prefect unit.Our discipline teacher organised a trip to visit some of the places that triggers self discipline in ourselves.So he took us to visit Borneo Heights Prison complex.When we visited the complex we need to keep our cellphones and handbags at the visitor's room before entering the complex to avoid sudden attacks from inmate.Thats the SOP before entering the complex.We visited the complex and the cells were very clean.Inmates sleep on the floor with straw mats and a thin matress provided by the prison.There's a pit toilet and a shower too just like this and inmate shared it together with other inmates too.In the past,inmates shared bucket chamber pots to poop or pee,the modern prison now have toilet in cells to enhance its hygienic conditions.There's CCTV everywhere to monitor fights too.The inmates also do odd jobs in the prison as a training to provide them with working skills after they were released in the future.Greetings from Sarawak,Malaysia.
