The Correctional Services Department held a graduation parade for trainees at the Stanley Staff Training Institute today (17th).
When attending the graduation ceremony, the Secretary for Security Deng Pingqiang said that since last year a large number of persons involved in the "black violence" have been detained in correctional institutions, and some persons in custody "have tried to establish privileges in prison and solicit followers."
He stated that correctional officers "fearlessly cracked down on illegal activities," and successfully prevented the prison from becoming a base for anti-China chaos in Hong Kong.
Tang Pingqiang also praised the correctional officers for keeping their posts, "courageously face various challenges inside and outside the wall, and prevent the resurgence of anti-China chaos in Hong Kong. They are the mainstay of maintaining Hong Kong's stability."
He also called on the citizens, especially the disciplined forces, to vote actively in the Legislative Council election on Sunday (19th).
Deng Bingqiang: Some prisoners have radical ideas and are embarrassed by external organizations
Tang Pingqiang attended the closing ceremony of the Correctional Services Department today and reviewed 28 officers of the Correctional Services Department and 114 officers of the second-level correctional assistants. The relevant correctional officers performed the ceremony with Chinese marching.
In his speech, he said that the Correctional Services Department is an important part of Hong Kong's criminal justice system. Since last year, a large number of persons involved in "criminal violence" have been detained in correctional institutions, and the number of remand persons has hit a 10-year high.
The Correctional Services Department deploys resources flexibly as soon as possible, and arranges these persons in custody to be taken into custody in different institutions to improve management efficiency.
Deng Bingqiang bluntly stated that "some of the inmates have radical ideas, anti-China and chaos in Hong Kong, and are embarrassed by external organizations in an attempt to establish forces within the prison, so as to spread all kinds of false news and seeds that endanger national security."
He pointed out that relevant people have tried to establish privileges in prisons, recruit followers, and challenge the governance of the Correctional Services Department. It is due to a group of correctional officers who "fearlessly crack down on illegal activities and successfully prevent the prison from becoming a base for anti-China chaos in Hong Kong."
Set up a youth training center to counsel "black violent" youths
Tang Ping-kiang praised the Correctional Services Department for seeing the problem of youth violence caused by "black violence" in recent years. The clinical psychologists of the Department designed a counselling service called "Youth Training Institute" to allow young people and inmates to adjust their thinking patterns and strengthen Law-abiding concept.
In terms of education, the Correctional Services Department has launched a "all starting from history" course to enhance the knowledge of Chinese history among the young people in custody and enhance their national identity.
He also mentioned that the Correctional Services Department has incorporated the Constitution, the Basic Law, the Hong Kong National Security Law and national affairs into the compulsory subjects of vocational training courses and related courses of on-the-job training in its staff training; the department is also inviting The Joint Office and the National Security Division of the Police Department jointly organized a seminar.
