(HBO) – A library was established inside the detention centre of the Hoa Binh provincial police three years ago, aiming to educate and inspire inmates towards the good. The library, set up by the provincial library and the police department in June 2017, is part of a joint programme signed between the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security in 2014. The programme facilitates the two ministries’ coordination in organising cultural and sport events at prisions, detention centres, compulsory educational establishments and juvies across the country.
Leaders of the provincial literature and arts association present books to
the library inside the detention centre of the Hoa Binh provincial police
department.
The library has
been better-equipped with nice chairs and tables as well as well-organised
shelves of books that are friendly to readers.
According to
leaders of the detention centre, the library has proved effective as it
welcomes many inmate readers, improving
quality of the education here. The model is humane and should be expanded to other
centres, one of the leaders said, adding that the centre wants to open a
similar library for prisioners in its Bac Phong division.
The library has
given inmates access to meaningful books that bring them comfort, faith, mental
support and positive thoughts about life. Many books also provide them with
information about their legitimate rights and benefits and with ideas for the
future career after they are released./.
