- The jailbirds are getting used to a life outside maximum-security prison.
But lapses in judgement cause them to drop all the pieces they’ve painstakingly picked up.
Is this a rude awakening? Or are they back to square one?
Graceson takes up a new job that doesn’t befit his tough exterior. But just as life blooms in colour, a wakeup call drags him back to reality. Iskandar jeopardises all his hard work with a single misstep. He reflects in solitude as he awaits judgement. Booked and busy, Boon Keng pays his dues and hits new milestones. Khai returns into the arms of those who matter most, but will his worries dissipate?
In the series finale, the four men dust themselves off for the days ahead, and it’s uncertain what life holds.

Rooting for all the guys especially Boon Keng, from his words I can tell he has a sensible head. If you continue going on the right path you will do good!
Yes I do agree. I am quite confident that he is going to be a better person
Boon Keng is a fun person and quite hyper
Jia you Boon Keng! I believe in you!
Jia you Boon Keng!
pppppp⁰⁰ 00 ⁹⁰⁰
So touched to see Graceson ties the ribbon on the chocolate and he said after that, "Never expect my hands that were used to fight and hurt people can be used to do better things. I can use this new skill to wrap for my children in the future."
I love Boon Keng’s energy! He’s always smiling & he comes up with the best analogies from prostitute to animal in zoo 😂 I think he is very adaptable in any environment. hoping there would be further updates & wishing only good things in his life.
Even when he was giving a tour of the dormitory, he casual joke regarding the usage of mirror. This is a very positive man :) will be nice to see him on the street one day and thank him for being so honest and open towards the camera. Very motivating
But why his wife refused to meet him and also his daughter ?
@@bobafett5757 you ownself go ask the wife lah
@@xxDxxism I dont know who the wife then how to ask
@@bobafett5757 If you remember the first part of the this Docu-series. Boon keng mentioned that he had a bad behavior before that causing to hurt to his ex-wife. Probably his ex-wife still have a short of trauma about it.
Boon Keng can legit start a UA-cam updating his life and I would be watching XD
Yes if he starts a simple vlog documenting his daily routine I would watch too!
He's on tiktok
he posts on tiktok!
@@adelpea What's his tiktok name?
@@yukilynx3526 boonkeng87
hahah the officer that smiled when Khai talked to his daughter was so wholesome, seeing how Singapore convicts are given a chance to recuperate into society again :)
Also, I can see how Boon Keng has really glow up from the time he was in prison until he has integrated into society, I'm so glad to see his change, it's amazing and I'm glad he has a sister to be there for him too!
Been there done that. My last release was 2021. Wouldn’t say I’ve changed 100%, because nobody is perfect. But I’m definitely better that I used to. Thank you to all the prison officers, reintegration officers and community counsellors for contributing to the results. God bless everyone.
if you don't mind me asking, what were you in for?
Are u the Facebook guy who like to talk nonsense?
Wow, that is definitely an achievement. Congrats for that brother! So...... when going back in? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 jkjk.
@@SpongeBobSquarePants89 haha my thoughts exactly... the facebook guy always talk nonsense then one day i think threaten some mps or what then got caught and go prison....
u not starve of hunger as a monster?
Can actually feel the excitement of their freedom they finally have. Being locked up for years is no joke, it's a waste of life.
But got free food and lodging
@@bobafett5757 u have autism
@@bobafett5757 seriously you think the food is good ???
All the best, guys. I’m rooting for you to succeed and stay out of prison
Really happy for the gentlemen in this series. Hope they get their lives back online and that they can integrate well into the community. Most of all, I'm glad that they've taken this opportunity to become better people.
Boon Keng, Graceson and Khai, thank you for doing your best~ we wish you all the best!
Boon Keng, if you're reading this, jiayou! Turning over a new leaf and living honestly as a person will be the best thing you can do to honour your mum. I believe she's proud of you.
Agreed,
This has been such an inspiring series, so much compassion and emotions intertwining the inmates and officers altogether. I am rooting for all inmates to not walk down the same dark path again. Especially for Graceson, anger can be a very very dangerous weapon.
definitely, shines a very positive light on the people working hard to help these inmates. bless them!
All the best to all 3 of you over your time in prison is finally over. Please stay away from any offences, which will take away the freedom you all have been yearning for. All the best and really wish you all a Happy better 2023. Thanks SPS and CNA
I'm rooting so much for Graceson. Being bound by countless rules while having to carry the burden of a father. One can only pray for him to see better days.
I think he already out with drugs, but needs to fix anger management issue?
Just wanted to really encourage all the inmates who are so open to share their personal story through this second part of the series, people like Boon Keng, Graceson and Iskandar. Personally, I feel its not easy at all to be open to share and going through all this personally, even when they may accidentally or unaware its a mistake. Keep on going!! We are cheering for you! All of you have an amazing future ahead of you! :)
I’m glad this documentary shows all sides and the truth. I know there is recidivism despite interventions and I’m glad they show it instead of just painting a rosy picture
CNA is a credit to Singapore and Singaporeans. I thoroughly enjoy the objective content and in-depth look at different aspects of life in Singapore. The prison series is simply brilliant. Thank you.
Very meaningful series, once again! Really touched and wish all the best for all of them!
Graceson, Boon Keng, Khai, and Iskander...you are human beings and human beings make mistakes..just make sure you guys don't repeat them. God has given you a second chance and we are all rooting for you! Best wishes for your bright future ahead.
Thank you CNA. I had never missed any of the episode since the 1st series. This is a very interesting documentary,and educational as well. I showed it to my young kids and it was really meaningful for them to understand how prison is like. Thank you so much!
*Khai is impressive despite having only Primary 2 education he can speak and understand English pretty well*
My thoughts exactly
@@heartsmich6208 Yup Khai is impressive
I'd become emotional after watching all the episodes, everybody deserves a second chance to change, and to be loved again, no judgment but all we need to do is support everyone's struggle, life is not easy at all. Our support system should always be there and don't give up, we all want a happy life.
When I first watch 3 vids in the past on you guys get caught, shackled & put into prison, my mind was … oh these are bad guys. But after watching the current 3 vids, I had change my views. I truly wish you guys all the BEST in the future and be a better person. Hope Graceson, Khai, Boon Keng will treasure whatever they had now; family & love ones, new job, new life. Though Iskandar still have a long ways before release, stay strong, you will succeed in your Diploma studies & become a better man in future. All the Best to you guys💪🏼
Please keep this series going 🙏👍
All the best to released inmates , stay strong , stay positive , you can do it!! Thank you CNA for this awesome followed -up documentary.
*Khai seems to be a loving and caring father and am proud of him for keeping his family together*
They are all actually not bad people. And Iskandar with his QR code, it was a more thoughtless mistake than an intention to do something bad, I think.
@@krollpeter Well if not bad then why ended up behind bars for so many years and many repeat offenders so please explain the meaning of Bad ?
*Graceson still needs lots of moral support around him and he has long way to go to manage his breathing techniques but above all never give up in believing in him cos he seems a loving dad to his children*
He has to consciously make an effort to overcome his shortcoming. His wife will divorce him if he returns to the prison for new offence. Life is short and Graceson needs to grow up and wise up quickly.
@@janicetan4626 So as his children will be devastated if he returns to prison ever again
@@saf00 Agreed that hes so immature to think being treated unfairly when he took MC without reporting his whereabouts and status thats why I have little confidence in him also hes still seeing his old friends
@@janicetan4626 After the problem with probation and missing curfew I thought his wife needs to leave him and they can coparent. How many times should you wait for someone in prison. She can support him without being a romantic partner. I hope he's changed and improved, but healing is slow.
this was truly such an amazing watch, i'm glad these inmates are able to reflect on their past actions and change from them. really warmed my heart!
Hope to see you guys 1 year later, still outside the prison, and have a good life.
You can do it guys….
For Iskandar, cant wait for your graduation, and bright future as well…
back so soon lah 🤣😂
Good job again team CNA. I enjoyed the previous series. After watching this episode, I realised that these featured guys had mostly dealt w drugs. I read tt those w drugs experiences, tend to fall back to it. Not wishing any of these guys to be tempted again. Just a realisation tt it might not exactly be them who want to offend again. But perhaps the drugs previously taken had an invisible bondage. Just a thought. Not excusing their offences, but trying to understand the repeated offences. Wishing them all success in leading fulfilling drug free lives once out of prison.
Curious too why the production team had chosen to focus on drug offenders. It will be interesting to find out more about 'well educated' offenders (i.e. those who w high profiles and yet committed crimes). How are these people taught to conform to the law then (esp when they are already so 'well educated')? I guess it shows how humans truly are... tt regardless of our education background, we all may still falter. God help us.
interesting ideas :>
White collar criminals get very short sentences and saving face is paramount to them so they wouldn't want to get featured
I swear, i cried for the whole episode. Esp when khai called his daughter. Thats so touching. 🥺
Boon Keng visiting crematorium scene also very heartwrenching and touching until I cried
I learnt something new! That there are 3000 ex-offenders serving the last parts of their sentences in the community. That’s amazing that there is a structured transition path for them. Thanks to all the staff and volunteers for making this possible! And the companies who were willing to employ them.
I guess it's a wrap. Thank you so much CNA especially the staff and production of this Series. I can't help to feel jealous at some point how the SG government are taking care of their inmates how they helped and allowed them to live again despite the facts all the wrongdoing that they've done. I wish my government will do the same thing :(
Been waiting for the 3rd and last installment! Love this series!!
So happy for Boon Keng! Congratulations and all the best in whatever you choose to do in the future!
Graceson say no money but clothing all branded LOL
It could be donated clothing.
Or fake? Doesn’t matter honestly, ownself happy can liao.
Last time one i guess
I pitied Boon Keng when he said he had to take his meal on the bus. I wish the authority concerned could look into the matter and see how it can be improved..they should have been given sufficient time for a meal...
ya what if raining and traffic jams? actually you are not allow to eat on the bus... maybe extend 30mins for meal?
sincerely rooting for all of them! It's definitely not an easy process to reintegrate back to society but with determination and a good support system I hope they all do well and have a bright future with their loved ones! all the best :)
Such an amazing series and all the best to the guys! 💪💪💪
I love all the inspirational quotes on the walls. I hope all the men, and their families have a blessed future.
Having watched the entire series, I truly wish the best for them.
*Well done CNA and SPF team cos all these episodes are remarkably insightful and excellently produced*
SPS
@@elle4470 What SPS and why ?
@@bobafett5757 Singapore Prison Service
@@fronzensoul But this doc co joint with SPF right ?
I think Graceson is likely to go back in (either for violent crime or some illegal jobs that can make quick bucks) He clearly have not learn how to manage his anger
Very interesting and high quality reality show, looking forward to the future sequel, if any. It is comparable to the British famous series 7Up!
Rooting for all of them to be free and don't commit the crime again. Congratulations and keep up the good rehabilitation. God Bless and cheers..
It’s so touching to see them reconnecting with the world outside. All the best to them 😭
I really hope to see change in Graceson.. He is a very chill guy and hope he can have some help with his anger managemrnt.. Good luck brother! Boon lengs energy is on top! Good luck to him too! Soo happy to see them have a bright future ahead.
Thank you so much CNA Insider for filming us this great documentary as prison life is something that we don't know at all. Besides, this Documentary series also teaches us that the past is in the past, a black spot in the past does not define how you're going in the future. Hopefully, we don't see these familiar faces anymore in the CNA Insider Documentary series especially in the setting: prison. In addition, people who are outside, living a normal life, please cherish your daily life and do whatever is meaningful and beneficial. Don't commit crimes and don't waste precious time in there ! As humans we are definitely worth having much more than ending up being locked in a cage 🤣 Please don't even do that
Thanks for helping those ppl in need, glad to see Boob Keng’s energy.
love Boon Keng energy ! Good luck to the 4 gentlemen !
Really appreciate the inside stories. Really..truly..truly all the best and good good luck to all I saw here..and those on their way out!
super proud of boon keng
Cheering for all 4 guys! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I feel Should just put graceson for anger management he needs that more...this prison won't help much
Really awesome series. I hope these guys would stay out of trouble. I hope Graceson is doing fine.
the ribbon Graceson tie is very nice and is good he said he can do more meaningful things with his hands and want to use the skill to make present for his kids
Thanks so much for posting this
The Singapore Prison Service should look into and address the issues faced by inmates who have to travel by public transport. A time study with additional time allocated for delays during meals, walking, transportation duration, etc. should be given. We should give them more if they show that they are putting in effort to reintegrate with the society. They should not be disheartened or discouraged to go to work.
I believe the time given must have been studied properly already but perhaps can be updated every now and then to see if it's still reasonable. But also not forgetting, it's meant to be tight because they don't want the supervisee gallivanting outside, giving allowance for delays etc could easily be abused especially when it's so difficult to prove. Afterall, they are not exactly completely out of their prison regiment yet.
@@thestaringenclave i agree that extra time may be abused but i wonder if the time given is sufficient if he has to eat inside the bus.
@@sofianmisadi3879 Let's give the supervisors the benefit of the doubt. I am sure that there are avenues for the supervisees to voice out their concerns.
Better he eats inside the bus, rather he go and meet those friends of his again. Staying on the right path is more important than his immediate short-term happiness
@@fed02 I’m in no way discrediting the Supervisors. My opinion is to be taken as a voice from a concerned member of the public. I hope that it carries a different weight as I do not have anything to gain from this. If someone from SPS were to suggest this, it might be construed as advancing his/her own interests. I do have some personal experience with the public service and the idea of not rocking the boat.
Rooting for all of them especially Khairil. I am happy but at the same time,i am sure his daughter not attending school is because her father go prison.
So a part of me feel that his daughter feel shy going to school knowing she is going to get teased because of her father.
But i am also happy that her daughter is also worried about her grandma knowing she is alone. It saddening to see his brother in law treating the mom in law like that.
To the four inmates, when u feel sad and down, acknowledge it, then find someone to talk to, u may do other healthy or constructive things to release your pain such as exercise, drawing, singing or journalling so as to cut yourself away from drugs. Remember to seek for help from the right people and do not suffer alone. What u did in the past were not because you were evil but was the lack of support and understanding from others. With the support and help from the right people and organisations, I m sure all four of you will be able to turn over a new leaf. Fighting and all the best to all of you.
All the best to all the 4 gentlemen.
CNA nailed this documentary. This truely shows the emotions and the life in jail.
Very happy to see boon Keng do really well..god bless u bro
Boon Keng looks so happy
Redemption complete , bright future ahead
shoutout to my boy Graceson. he knows we love this mini series so much he is hell bent on going in for the 5th time just so CNA can continue making this mini series for us.....
Hahaha
lmao. I'm cracking up with this comment HAHAHAHA! I mean great for us I guess? 😂 More series to come.
everyone deserves a second chance. hope you guys stay safe and never go back in. Jia you!!
Rooting for Boon Keng..please do stay on the right path.
I wish all of you the very best. It was very touching following this series. Stay blessed always
Good to see Boon Keng, Graceson, and Khai finally out of prison. Hopefully they follow the right path and stay out for the rest of their life.
Great series - I wish them all the best.
Boon Keng, all the very best to you. Stay healthy and stay strong, though your mum is not around I am sure she will be proud of you.
Overall this was a very very brave docu series. Kudos to the production crew, the ex cons and e prison officers. So i wanna wish go0d luck, god speed to all th0se releaseD. Brave, very brave indeed
Awesome program. So nice to see a happy ending for those with new beginnings. Best wishes to them all.
So happy for them, I hope when the time when all of them are released back to the outside world. They'll do better and be a good example to everyone.
i like this follow up.. atleast we get to see a glimpse of their new life.. I hope evrything is well for them
Omg so looking forward to this sequel.
I believe in front Infront of camera, filtration sure have one, a bit of wayang cannot run away one. Hope the reality is not diff much as it's shown. Good job to CNA for having this contents. Hope to have more real life stories to share. Its really remind those people outside of prison to enjoy freedom and appreciate life.
the best documentary. thank you so much cna insider
Yes please don’t ever go back to that place ! Life is too short to enjoy it and GOODLUCK to you guys.
Really send my love to these guys they are so courages to be film ….that’s a really big step ….understand they want to be film because they want to change ❤
Boon Keng, Graceson & Khai , JIAYOU! Wishing you all the best in life and future endeavours. May you all be protected always. ❤️
So happy for Boon Keng. I hope to see his progress and the others too in upcoming episodes. Wishing everyone the best of 2023!!
I'm so happy for Boon Keng. I pray for ur bright future in ur life.
I guess the lesson is about responsibility and not about money. Reward comes in many different ways. Rooting for all these guys to heathy and safe and take care of their families❤
Community based program is a great success
Man, so happy for them! I hope Iskandar is gonna do well as well!
such a meaningful series.. Best wishes to all of you.. I wish you never commit crime again and be a good citizen and good family ❤
This is so good
Wishing them well. Hope they will stay on the right path after their releases.
Khai's and his daughter relationship makes me quite happy. Their relationship is at the point where they can still joke with eachother. Their still comfortable with eachother even though her father is in prison. His daughter is such an independent girl
I hope we would get an update of Iskandar's diploma results. I wish him all the best, and others too!
Don't worry about graceson. Can see that he is quite well to do base on all his branded t shirt and luxury watch
what is he working as?
Theres not a good sign to recovery
@@sek898 before prison he got mention some car sales job
The only MediaCorp production I watch is from CNA insider no other ❤
I felt bad for Boon Keng that he didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his mother, but he also realized that it was the past and he couldn't do anything to change it. He has a positive outlook and seems responsible that he will make it and never have to see a prison wall ever again. My prayers go to you, man.
Prison is tough, being out after prison isn't a bed of roses too. Many are still paying the price after being released. Stigma will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Hope they take it a step at a time, not to feel frustrated and not to take for granted the second chance they are given. It is easy to reoffend, but there are lots of people rooting for them.
Aww. Should stay in the hotel job though.
Anyway best of luck ahead ♥️🥰👍
I feel for you guys. God bless u all and hope for the very best🙏
It's easy to fall back to old habits. All the best, guys.
I just got out from prison last year, and its so freaking hard to find a job with "ex convict" stick next to my name. Thank god ive found one after many months, though its just being a helper. I consider this all as miracle already 😂
