Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum
The Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum is a two-storey building covering an area of about 480 square metres. It features 10 exhibition rooms, two simulated prison cells, and one simulated gallows. The museum houses over 600 exhibits, and its rooftop houses a mock prison watchtower. It documents the history and evolution of Hong Kong’s correctional system, punishments, as well as the uniforms and insignia of correctional officers. In addition, the museum displays information on the lives of Vietnamese boat people, homemade weapons, and other valuable materials. There is also a secondary exhibition hall that introduces rehabilitation and resettlement programmes, showcasing handicrafts made by inmates.
The Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum showcases the evolution of Hong Kong's correctional system over the past 160 years, from a focus on harsh punishment to deterrence in the past, to today’s emphasis on helping offenders start anew.
