The exhibition aimed to showcase inmates and juvenile delinquents’ learning achievements and determination to reform, raising support and acceptance from society on their rehabilitation journey.

The ceremony was also attended by the University of Saint Joseph’s (USJ) Programme Leader of the Prison Outreach Programme, Prof. Helen Liu.
The booth of students from the Department of Social Work of the USJ attracted much attention. It is learned that the booth games were designed to promote the prison education. The students were actively engaged with professionalism and concentration, and introduced the Prison Programme to the visitors. The booth game was coordinated by the USJ students, namely Long Wan Cheong, Si Tou Ka Wai, Wong wai hong, Cheong Ngai Fai and Cheong Choi San.
At the event site, the students enthusiastically explained to the visitors the significance and core value of the prison outreach program. Through the display of elaborately designed promotional materials and patient answering of questions, more people were made aware of the positive role of this educational program in helping inmates reintegrate into society and realize their self-worth.
The USJ has always attached great importance to the expansion of social services and education. The participation of students from the Department of Social Work this time not only reflects the social responsibility of the university but also contributes to the development of prison education.
It is believed that in the future, the USJ will continue to move forward on the path of social services and educational innovation and play a greater role in the harmony and progress of society.
