Our principal goals are to:

• Keep prisoners in safe custody.
• Maintain order, control, discipline and safe prison environment.
• Provide decent conditions for prisoners and meet their needs, with respect to food, clothing, bedding, hygiene, sanitation and health care.
• Provide positive programmes which help prisoners address their offending behavior and allow them as full and responsible a life as possible.
• Help prisoners prepare for their return to the community.
• Keep the prison force disciplined, motivated and professional by reinforcement with periodical training.
• Deliver prison services using the resources provided by Government with maximum efficiency.

In meeting these goals, we will co-operate closely with other criminal justice agencies for development of the criminal justice system as a whole.
