Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum (Chinese: 香港懲教博物館) is located at 45, Tung Tau Wan Road, Stanley, Hong Kong. It was housed in the Staff Training Institute of Hong Kong Correctional Services Department; later, it was moved to a two-storey building next to the Staff Training Institute. There is a mock guard tower on the top of the new museum building.
In addition, there is an annex for the display of products made by prisoners. A Community Education Centre built on the podium of the parade ground aims to introduce the Department's correctional and rehabilitative programmes to the public. To conclude the visit, a 200 square metre platform in front of the museum commands the scenery of Tai Tam Bay. History lovers and tourists around the world will find visiting the museum enjoyable.
The museum is under the management of the Correctional Services Department.
