Phase 2 will go on for three months and is joined by 37 inmates that have completed Phase 1.
The objective of the second Phase, Psychology Programmes; is to foster constructive skills among participants as well as positively change and improve their thinking to help them reform and lead a good life once they are released from prison. This Phase also helps participants to identify life goals of and how to prepare themselves to achieve these goals. Those who complete Phase 2 will move on to Phase 3.
