Prisoners receive legal training, life skills

BINH DUONG — Eighty prisoners at An Phuoc Prison in southern Binh Duong Province last weekend completed a two-day law consultancy course organised by HCM City's Youth Union and HCM City Law University.

Entitled Hanh trinh cua niem tin (The Journey of Hope), the programme discusses criminal, civil, labour laws and other regulations.

The experts also taught prisoners life skills and helped them fill out job application forms and apply for bank loans.

Organisers said the programme was designed to help prisoners reintegrate into society when released. — VNS
