The redevelopment of the Changi Prison Complex involves the consolidation of all existing medium-security and maximum-security facilities, previously located in different sites all over Singapore, into a single 47.9-hectare site where the existing Changi Prison stands. Great effort was taken to create a highly secure environment while maintaining optimum operational and staffing efficiencies. This is achieved by the “clusters” style design, in which training and housing facilities are built close together, localising and sealing off the affected areas during the redevelopment. The clusters are distributed equally throughout the site.
High-rise complexes address the problem of limited land space to accommodate up to 23,000 prisoners. The design also took into consideration environmental and operational concerns to enhance operational flexibility and capita cost savings. The redeveloped Changi Prison Complex is an expandable, state-of-the-art and secure facility, well-placed to meet Singapore’s rehabilitative needs.
