This book tells a story of successful prison reform that brought
the recidivism rate of prisoners down from 44% to 24%. In the
process of this reform, the entire Prison Service was transformed
from a custody focused mindset to a rehabilitation centred culture.
This change was wrought despite the lack of enthusiasm of the then
political leadership.The author describes his personal role in the
reform effort, the methodology used to engender change in
organizational culture and the struggles for the soul of the prison
service and the hearts and minds of all those involved. These
include organizations involved in the aftercare of ex-offenders,
volunteers who came forward to assist in the efforts and the
families and employers of offenders and ex-offenders. The journey
ends with the Yellow Ribbon Project that now embodies the
rehabilitative efforts for ex-offenders.The Making of Captains of
Lives is a personal account of a public sector leader who has
helped built a highly efficient prison system in Singapore,
providing a strong case study for successful change management and
public sector leadership. It will encourage the hearts of all those
civil servants who believe in serving their nations and societies
by devoting themselves to a worthy cause in their day-to-day work.
