Hong Kong Correctional Services Department (HKCSD) has also provided various kinds of services and support to persons in custody (PICs) to help them live a law-abiding life upon release. Recognising that successful rehabilitation hinges on the determination of PICs to make a fresh start as well as community support, the HKCSD works closely with various Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and religious bodies, which are named as “Rehabilitation Synergistic Partners” who have played a supplementary role in organising rehabilitation and reintegration programmes to PICs.
