In-Prison Edification and Education: （1）Counseling Education: jIndividual Counseling: Counsels and inmates conduct person-to-person consultations, which are administered in a kind and friendly manner without constraint of formality. Timing is of the essence when administering counseling. In addition to administering counseling for new admittance, parole, consumption, change of inmate status, family incident, reward and punishment, sickness, classification, and promotion, for inmates who are upset about sickness, family misfortune, loss of family member, no visitor for a period of time, or other special situations, comfort and special counseling will be given. kGroup Counseling: The Edification and Education Section is in charge of arranging the counseling schedule. Volunteer social workers and volunteer counsels are recruited to administer counseling for inmates; experts and scholars are also invited to deliver educational seminars. lCategorized Counseling: Inmates are classified by the details of crime type and the nature of crime when allocating resources and achieving maximum correctional and educational results for educational purposes. mReligion Counseling: A religion awareness time is scheduled weekly. According to inmates’ religious beliefs such as: Christianity, Catholicism, and Buddhism, religious groups are invited to the Prison to spread their good word and purify the minds and souls, in hopes that the inmates’ moods will be lifted. In addition to purifying people’s minds, advocating mercy and benevolence, and inspiring inmates’ conscience, inmates’ violent and stubborn natures are expected to be replaced with kindness of heart, harmonic personal relationship, and good deeds. n Post-imprisonment Education: Content of edification and guidance: Besides listening to religious preaching and attending seminars, inmates’ reasons for serving prison sentence, relationships with family members, and personal background are inquired to thoroughly understand inmates’ performances in realization of one’s error, attitude of life, personal interaction, awareness of behavior, psychological guidance, willingness of learning, plan for serving out a sentence, and a future prospect in life. Joint efforts of personal counseling service from the Taiwan After-Care Association are also provided. Inmates about to be released from the Prison or special individual cases are admitted in to the in-prison counseling program initiated by volunteer social workers, volunteer counsels, and other volunteer edification workers who have received training in counseling and guidance, so that inmates may cast off the painful suffering of the prison sentence, understand the truth, the good, and the beauty of life along with fully understanding the direction of life, and build a sense of mission. Inmates will receive after-life guidance after being released from the Prison to exercise morality and conscience, abandon biased thoughts and wrong behaviors, become good citizens, and together build a warm and peaceful atmosphere for the society. （2）Activity Groups: jTable Tennis Team: The purpose of establishing a table tennis team is to allow inmates the opportunity to build a healthy body, enrich their spirit and have a calm mind and collective soul. By joining the table tennis team, the inmates can be at peace with one’s self, shake off their naïve nature and wandering dreams, and thus perfect both internal and external qualities while serving their prison sentence. kBasketball Team: The purpose of establishing a basketball team is to allow the inmates the opportunity to build a healthy body, cultivate confidence and courage, see with a broader vision, open up breadth of mind, purify their mind, gain a macroscopic perception of life, establish noble sentiment, and enhance humane cares. After being released, the inmates are expected to be able to adapt to the competitive world outside, not to compromise public order and endanger other people and the interests of society, rather to be a good person. Through basketball games, inmates may release pressure while serving their prison sentence. It not only allows for vent to depression and stabilizes inmates’ status, but also helps in elevating boredoms while at the prison and adds freshness and vivacity to edification. lBadminton Team: The purpose of establishing a badminton team is to cultivate physical bodies for the inmates, abandon bad habits of the past, and bring out the best traits within each of the inmates. By participating in the badminton games, inmates may have a good channel to release pressure. It not only stabilizes inmates’ status, but also helps to build endurance and diligence. Building indefatigable and vivacious spirits helps in wiping out unpleasant memories of failure in the past, cast off shame and inferiority complex, and strive to move toward a new self and new dream. mTraditional Chinese Music Orchestra: The purpose of establishing the traditional Chinese music orchestra is to help inmates find the ideal music style among the Chinese music instruments, which best fits their taste. Through actual performance of arts, dreams, blessings, and wishes in the inmates’ hearts are revealed while other inmates may share and own a feast of the soul when listing to the music pieces. Through the performance of traditional Chinese music, inmates may try to face their crime, reconcile with the moods that they have never realized, confess to themselves, generate different prospects, go beyond the limit of time and space, and break the boundary of interpersonal relationship. nOrchestra Band: The purpose of establishing an orchestra is to convert inmates’ stubborn natures into gentle and merciful behavior. During long-term learning, training, and performing, the benefit of exertion of music is more and more obvious, and the result of edification for inmates is excellent. Through the orchestra performances, inmates may perfect their minds and souls, improve behavior, release pressure, eliminate feverish and unstable atmosphere, explore their potential interests and live the life in prison, cast off limitation of freedom of activity and fetters and handcuffs of spirit and soul, and focus on self-improvement and self-examination. oLion Dance Group: The purpose of establishing the lion dance group is to promote traditional lion dance arts, pass down folk arts, enhance the cultural and art level, and achieve the goal of edification. In addition, it may encourage inmates to practice team spirit, learn cooperation within groups, and exhaust excessive energy and help to develop ones potential. It exhibits the diverse edification mission that integrates with traditional folk arts, achieves the effects of “no punishment in prison term” and “assist rehabilitation with just”, and opens up a new page in the reform of prison administration. pChorus: The purpose of establishing a chorus is to allow inmates the opportunity to express their feelings about depression when they need to find an exit for their emotion by singing in a chorus. Even though they may not sing very well, enjoyment can be added to the long and boring life in prison with professional teacher’s instruction and the healing effect of the music. In addition, inmates may find their own paradise in their happy and easy singing. Inmates’ depressed feelings may be released thorough songs and the anxiety may be dissolved. When the inmates are singing, they may focus on the joy of songs and devote themselves as if it is a paradise. Inmates will no longer feel sad and setback. （3）Talent Workshop: Talent Workshops teach Chinese painting, calligraphic art, western painting, paper umbrella, and other artistries. Inmates learn through observation and imitation in the beginning, and then further improvise to bring out their hidden talent in the creation of art works.
