Skills development and rehabilitation activities There were a number of rehabilitation programmes for inmates at the prison. The inmates participated more in gardening activities, building, keeping the yards clean and rabbit keeping (See Fig 8). The institution is applauded for offering such activities as they are in line with Article 78 of the UN Standard Minimum Rules as well as the Beijing Rules, which state that recreational and cultural activities are necessary for the mental and physical benefit of inmates. ZHRC acknowledged and applauded the diversified range of skills of development as not all of the inmates are talented in academic education. The Prison offers various development skills at the Prison workshop ranging from welding, carpentry and motor mechanics, but because of financial constraints the inmates could not go for trade test. The workshop also faced a number of challenges ranging from unavailability of capital, raw materials, hand tools and text books. The prison utilizes Agricultural Shows to show case their products but generally there were no markets for the goods. Page 18 of 21
