Rehabilitation Programmes: Government Docs Initiative

As part of its comprehensive rehabilitation and reintegration strategy, the Department of Correctional Services ensures that offender clients are provided with essential government-issued documents to facilitate their smooth return to society. These include:

  • Taxpayer Registration Numbers (TRNs)

  • Birth Certificates

  • Driver’s Permits

In 2024, numerous offender clients were successfully issued these documents while still in custody, reducing administrative delays post-release and helping them access employment, education, and social services more efficiently.

This initiative forms a critical part of the Department’s effort to break the cycle of recidivism and empower former inmates to become productive members of society.
