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!
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."
Graceson!! Why did you deviate??!!! You were doing so good. I understand, truly I do. 7.5 years in FLDOC and 2 of those years in work release. It's not easy, it's a struggle everyday. You can do this 🙏🏽
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
@@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.
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.
@@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....
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.
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.
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.
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! :)
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.
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
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.
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…
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
*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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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.

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.....
Graceson's problems are not whether he's committed crimes or not. It's just his irresponsible, undisciplined and short-tempered personalities that get him into all those troublesome.
Cannot change one..... He took mc to bring his son to take mc.... like whattttt??????? Then he was given a job to work, although pay low but he MIA 7 times.
@@Guitar-11b and u can tell from this series he still can't manager his anger. in the first 4 episodes series, he mentioned he dulan his officers because they ignore his request/plea. then in the 3 part episodes he keep complaining he dulan this or dulan that....
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
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 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❤
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💪🏼
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
*Graceson please focus on your family all the way and if possible just cut ties with your old friends otherwise there can be several slippery slopes along your tough journey to recovery*
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.
Somehow I feel for these people. They let darkness trashed them once. Hope Light will lead them into a brighter future. My advice to you guys is: Always pray for Light. Darkness is waiting to grab you again. They will always be there. Let Light into your mind to illumine you with wisdom. So that you have the strength to overcome all temptations. Pray for Light every single day without fail. Darkness is still inside your mind right now. Whatever your religion, Light and darkness will always exist in this world. The stronger ones will listen to Light, while the weaker ones will fall into darkness. Light will give your the strength you need, PROVIDED you ASK for it. It will not come uninvited to your house. The world is like a battlefield between Light and darkness. I see this being played out every single day in all human beings. “Light is the most needed in the world, but it is the least wanted."-enlightened master Sri Chinmoy
I like how the Singaporean government humanly treats the prisoners and tries to help them to get back to the society. This is entirely opposite to Thailand, my home country, whereby prisoners may not be necessarily treated well. The society integration program is poorly designed and implemented. Hat off to the Singaporean government and its department of justice.
That Graceson guy shouldn't be allowed to go out yet. He's really a hard head. Maybe it's better for him to stay in the prison. Imagine.. 7 times breaking the curfew.. To be honest, he has no dicipline. He has a shot at freedom and he's jeopardizing it by not following some petty rule. He should be reflecting more time in the reflection room.. Simple rule as that he couldn't follow. Maybe some people are just born to be criminal..
Tbh its not looking good for Graceson. He has a very negative attitude to everything - keep getting angry over small things like the clothes. The difference is night and day compared to Boon Keng who was just so happy and grateful to be released and wearing civilian clothes. Graceson also somehow thinks he got treated unfairly when he chao keng MC and didn’t follow SOP. Like bruh you are still technically serving your sentence they are giving you a privilege to work outside first and enjoy some freedom earlier. He seems to have this victim mindset where he keeps blaming everything else other than taking responsibility for himself. Also keeps thinking people look down on him, that he has to ‘see other people attitude’. It’s also not a good sign that he chao keng from his job to hang out with friends who take drugs.
I respected malay from singapore, they can speak well English tho!!! Bravo so proud!!!!!!! Chinese Singaporean no need to say la, memang speaking English! Salam dari malaysia❤
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 😂
So far Boon Keng and Khai is the best la..Graceson still long way to go ....still need to control his anger and ego..too easy to lose control him..i think he might go in another time i guess..
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
Graceson has anger issues, lack self-discipline.. i believe he did change for the better in those years in prison.. he still need to have a better hold on himself. His anger and self discipline may cost him his family His wife has mentioned in the 1st series that he needs to do better else she will divorce him. I really hope he can focus more on his family.. to reflect on his own issues.. and if he persists.. it will cost him those things and pple he loves most 😐
As much as I want graceson to never enter prison.. I sincerely hope he learn from his deeds.. Chao Keng to get mc I feel it's ok, but at least have the basic courtesy to report ur status , not just go MIA.. no business will hire a person with such character.. it's okay to Keng.. everyone does it.. but be tactical about it lah.. I also have kids sick.. I also Keng mc.. but I still report my status to my bosses and let them know my whereabouts.. Graceson jiayou bro.. I'm rooting for u.. I honestly hope u will never go into prison but ur anger management need to adjust Abit lah..
your singapore government is awesome.. you never know how many countries didnt get a support ,,, never waste the fredom you get and support from your government. SIngaporeans are lucky!Godbless.
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
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.
And Graceson ah Graceson..i wish you well. But come out only for a while then have to go in for a short stint. That's just ridiculous! You said you will take care of your family. Grow up! Don't find loopholes anymore. Be responsible and follow the rules! We have to be mindful of the possible consequences.. And why are you still seeing those old friends who are taking drugs? Alamak..
ppl gave him a second chance and hired him to be a florist, only to have him MIA 7 times. he probably find his salary too low and was searching for opportunities to make quick bucks elsewhere
My thought as well, but he didn’t seem interested in getting on “the right path” so to speak when he got out. He wanted to move to another country where he could continue his drug use.
Graceson doesn’t seem to have good self control. Eg being really annoyed that his clothes weren’t washed when returned to him. He was picked up by a Mercedes. Doubt anyone in his ‘good’ circle can afford that. Feels like the car belongs to some bad company of his. I think he will never leave prison for long, not until his family has all left him. Good luck.
It would be interesting if they can, cause I know an inmate who was in jail for selling guns, he went to jail for 2 years, and he said he won't be selling guns. but then got caught selling fake merchandise and went to jail for 8 years, and he said he won't be selling fakes anymore, but guess what? he went to jail again for 3 mths, for creating an illegal gambling ring in his house. I haven't met him again but I doubt he has changed.
Boon Keng should start vlogging. I love to see his daily life. I feel like he is a really interesting guy. I will even pay for it to subscribe his channel.
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.
I wish that UK prisoners had similiar schemes. We need things like this. Maybe with bunks rather than sleeping on the floor! I really like the psychological approach to helping candidates understand past mistakes and how not to repeat them, developing useful skills.
*I missed Sgt Muthan of the past episodes cos hes such a dedicated and professional officer and also Rusdi that candy collection inmate just hope to hear from both of them*
I find that Graceson has an actor look. Jack Neo or others can consider hiring him as actor in their movies if there are suitable roles. Boon Keng also has potential too especially with roles about being an insider etc, because of his happy go lucky look and people will not suspect much.
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 :)
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.
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!

Very meaningful series, once again! Really touched and wish all the best for all of them!
CNA nailed this documentary. This truely shows the emotions and the life in jail.
Boon Keng looks so happy
Rooting for Boon Keng..please do stay on the right path.
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.
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.
Graceson's problems are not whether he's committed crimes or not. It's just his irresponsible, undisciplined and short-tempered personalities that get him into all those troublesome.
Cannot change one..... He took mc to bring his son to take mc.... like whattttt??????? Then he was given a job to work, although pay low but he MIA 7 times.
@@Guitar-11b and u can tell from this series he still can't manager his anger. in the first 4 episodes series, he mentioned he dulan his officers because they ignore his request/plea. then in the 3 part episodes he keep complaining he dulan this or dulan that....
@@kuatiogui what’s a dulan?
@@fajriarmansya5541 means pissed off
@@fajriarmansya5541 literal meaning is "Thrust penis inside."
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
All the best to released inmates , stay strong , stay positive , you can do it!! Thank you CNA for this awesome followed -up documentary.
Please I don’t want to see all of you here again! Stay strong and positive and be a better person!
*Well done CNA and SPF team cos all these episodes are remarkably insightful and excellently produced*

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 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❤
Not that I want to look down on Graceson but by seeing how he handle things...I think he will be back in prison again.
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💪🏼
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
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..
I love all the inspirational quotes on the walls. I hope all the men, and their families have a blessed future.
*Graceson please focus on your family all the way and if possible just cut ties with your old friends otherwise there can be several slippery slopes along your tough journey to recovery*
Very interesting and high quality reality show, looking forward to the future sequel, if any. It is comparable to the British famous series 7Up!
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.
Somehow I feel for these people. They let darkness trashed them once. Hope Light will lead them into a brighter future.
My advice to you guys is: Always pray for Light. Darkness is waiting to grab you again. They will always be there. Let Light into your mind to illumine you with wisdom. So that you have the strength to overcome all temptations. Pray for Light every single day without fail. Darkness is still inside your mind right now.
Whatever your religion, Light and darkness will always exist in this world. The stronger ones will listen to Light, while the weaker ones will fall into darkness.
Light will give your the strength you need, PROVIDED you ASK for it. It will not come uninvited to your house.
The world is like a battlefield between Light and darkness. I see this being played out every single day in all human beings.
“Light is the most needed in the world, but it is the least wanted."-enlightened master Sri Chinmoy
I like how the Singaporean government humanly treats the prisoners and tries to help them to get back to the society. This is entirely opposite to Thailand, my home country, whereby prisoners may not be necessarily treated well. The society integration program is poorly designed and implemented. Hat off to the Singaporean government and its department of justice.
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
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!
Tq cna for this sequel...... should do womens prison next..... I think they too have stories to share....
love Boon Keng energy ! Good luck to the 4 gentlemen !
super proud of boon keng
That Graceson guy shouldn't be allowed to go out yet. He's really a hard head. Maybe it's better for him to stay in the prison. Imagine.. 7 times breaking the curfew.. To be honest, he has no dicipline. He has a shot at freedom and he's jeopardizing it by not following some petty rule. He should be reflecting more time in the reflection room..
Simple rule as that he couldn't follow. Maybe some people are just born to be criminal..
Tbh its not looking good for Graceson. He has a very negative attitude to everything - keep getting angry over small things like the clothes. The difference is night and day compared to Boon Keng who was just so happy and grateful to be released and wearing civilian clothes.
Graceson also somehow thinks he got treated unfairly when he chao keng MC and didn’t follow SOP. Like bruh you are still technically serving your sentence they are giving you a privilege to work outside first and enjoy some freedom earlier.
He seems to have this victim mindset where he keeps blaming everything else other than taking responsibility for himself. Also keeps thinking people look down on him, that he has to ‘see other people attitude’. It’s also not a good sign that he chao keng from his job to hang out with friends who take drugs.
Community based program is a great success
I respected malay from singapore, they can speak well English tho!!! Bravo so proud!!!!!!! Chinese Singaporean no need to say la, memang speaking English! Salam dari malaysia❤
The only MediaCorp production I watch is from CNA insider no other ❤
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 😂
All the best to all the 4 gentlemen.
So far Boon Keng and Khai is the best la..Graceson still long way to go ....still need to control his anger and ego..too easy to lose control him..i think he might go in another time i guess..
Yes please don’t ever go back to that place ! Life is too short to enjoy it and GOODLUCK to you guys.
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
Graceson has anger issues, lack self-discipline.. i believe he did change for the better in those years in prison.. he still need to have a better hold on himself.
His anger and self discipline may cost him his family
His wife has mentioned in the 1st series that he needs to do better else she will divorce him.
I really hope he can focus more on his family.. to reflect on his own issues.. and if he persists.. it will cost him those things and pple he loves most
😐
As much as I want graceson to never enter prison.. I sincerely hope he learn from his deeds.. Chao Keng to get mc I feel it's ok, but at least have the basic courtesy to report ur status , not just go MIA.. no business will hire a person with such character.. it's okay to Keng.. everyone does it.. but be tactical about it lah.. I also have kids sick.. I also Keng mc.. but I still report my status to my bosses and let them know my whereabouts..
Graceson jiayou bro.. I'm rooting for u.. I honestly hope u will never go into prison but ur anger management need to adjust Abit lah..
Thanks for helping those ppl in need, glad to see Boob Keng’s energy.
your singapore government is awesome.. you never know how many countries didnt get a support ,,, never waste the fredom you get and support from your government. SIngaporeans are lucky!Godbless.
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
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.
And Graceson ah Graceson..i wish you well.
But come out only for a while then have to go in for a short stint. That's just ridiculous! You said you will take care of your family. Grow up! Don't find loopholes anymore. Be responsible and follow the rules! We have to be mindful of the possible consequences..
And why are you still seeing those old friends who are taking drugs? Alamak..
He took mc to bring the son to take mc.... like wth... But then yes this is a chao kuan, probably quite hard for him to change.
ppl gave him a second chance and hired him to be a florist, only to have him MIA 7 times. he probably find his salary too low and was searching for opportunities to make quick bucks elsewhere
@@sek898 I felt weird when he said that tying ribbons around chocolate boxes is a lady's job, wth 😂 both men and women can do that equally
I wonder how's Rusdi doing now
My thought as well, but he didn’t seem interested in getting on “the right path” so to speak when he got out. He wanted to move to another country where he could continue his drug use.
Graceson doesn’t seem to have good self control. Eg being really annoyed that his clothes weren’t washed when returned to him.
He was picked up by a Mercedes. Doubt anyone in his ‘good’ circle can afford that. Feels like the car belongs to some bad company of his.
I think he will never leave prison for long, not until his family has all left him. Good luck.
Awesome program. So nice to see a happy ending for those with new beginnings. Best wishes to them all.
to all of u. pls dont go back to crime. enjoy your freedoms. crime does not pay. all best to Boon Keng, Graceson and Khai. stay safe and take care
It would be interesting if they can, cause I know an inmate who was in jail for selling guns, he went to jail for 2 years, and he said he won't be selling guns. but then got caught selling fake merchandise and went to jail for 8 years, and he said he won't be selling fakes anymore, but guess what? he went to jail again for 3 mths, for creating an illegal gambling ring in his house. I haven't met him again but I doubt he has changed.
Boon Keng should start vlogging. I love to see his daily life. I feel like he is a really interesting guy. I will even pay for it to subscribe his channel.
He has a tiktok channel
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.
Boon Keng, Graceson & Khai , JIAYOU! Wishing you all the best in life and future endeavours. May you all be protected always. ❤️
I wish that UK prisoners had similiar schemes. We need things like this. Maybe with bunks rather than sleeping on the floor! I really like the psychological approach to helping candidates understand past mistakes and how not to repeat them, developing useful skills.
Could you guys do a series for women’s prison service too? Curious to see if there’s any difference.
There’s already one about this 😊
Iskander sitting in that cell with NOTHING has to be.....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
*I missed Sgt Muthan of the past episodes cos hes such a dedicated and professional officer and also Rusdi that candy collection inmate just hope to hear from both of them*
Hard to say but graceson. Hmmm. Not feeling the good vibes. Only time will tell.
i hope he gets the help to control it but the laundry part, wow, that could get him angry too.
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 find that Graceson has an actor look. Jack Neo or others can consider hiring him as actor in their movies if there are suitable roles. Boon Keng also has potential too especially with roles about being an insider etc, because of his happy go lucky look and people will not suspect much.
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!
I'm so happy for Boon Keng. I pray for ur bright future in ur life.
I'm really happy for Boon Keng. You must jiayou, and hopefully, you can meet your daughter soon! Jiayou brother daniel.
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.
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 :)
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.
