I、Vision
Exercise the spirit of benevolence in developing effective correction systems.
Become a modernized correction prison by managing with humanity and love.
II、Method of Management
1、Partitioned Management
The Prison is dedicated to retain recidivists who have repeatedly committed severe crimes and is concurrently responsible for compulsory medical treatments. Therefore, in order to effectively control and educate inmates, six discipline small groups adopt guard and control in partitioned areas. Discipline for inmates is based on humanity, where punishment is substituted for education, and the principle that life caring is generous but discipline is stringent. The Prison runs solely according to laws and institutionalized management, so that inmates may adapt to the society and start a new virtuous life after being released from the Prison.
2. Reinforcement of Inmates’ Concepts of Laws
（1）Strengthen inmates’ concepts of laws and accustom them to the laws, so inmates may follow the laws, repent and reform then return to the society in as short of a time as possible, thus allowing them to adapt to social life after being released from the Prison.
（2） Acclaimed law professionals are invited to the Prison to offer lectures and teach basic knowledge in the laws and public views about crime, so that inmates may truly repent and become a self-regulated person.
（3） Religious and minority groups are invited to the Prison to help inmates change their minds, thoroughly understand and admit what they have done wrong, and face the society with the power of religion.
3、Promotion of the Discipline Personnel’s Knowledge in Guard and Control
      Strengthen and consolidate Discipline Personnel’s legal concepts and professional knowledge along with skills and attitudes when carrying out their duties thus achieving ultimate effectiveness in all the correction functions and duties.

（2）Law professionals (such as judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and probation officers) are invited to the Prison to give lectures to enhance discipline personnel’s legal knowledge.
（3）Strengthen discipline personnel’s use and management of firearms, and fire-fighting equipment.
（4）Conduct routine education and pre-task briefing for discipline personnel to enhance discipline personnel’s guard and control knowledge and ability.
4、Supervision and Treatment for HIV Inmates
The Prison currently holds about 230 HIV inmates. Once new inmates are admitted to the Prison, physical examinations will be conducted immediately. Scheduled “Antiserum and Immunity Examination of Sexually Transmitted Diseases” is conducted. In case inmate with positive response is identified, then such inmates will be kept in specialized areas and Sanitation and Health Section will send the blood culture to a related organization for further examination.
（1）For unconfirmed HIV inmates, medical personnel and discipline personnel must pay attention to their mental and physical conditions, calm and console their emotion, and keep written records.
（2）Once inmates are confirmed positive HIV, then such inmates will be processed according to “HIV Individual Case Management Plan” along with medical personnel and isolated in “HIV Inmate Special Area” of the Prison for the consideration of guard and control. Such inmates will receive proper medical treatment and consultation from professional medical personnel and psychological guidance personnel; written records will also be kept.
5、Education and Management for Substitute Military Men.
Substitute military men come from a diverse society and different families; each with unique background. In order to effectively manage and organize the needs of living in a group, individual consultation is strengthened to help solving personal issues, promote best use of talent, and enhance effectiveness of management and control. Offering guidance in weekly professional academic and skill education to compensate substitute military men’s insufficiency professional knowledge strengthens life consultation for substitute military men.

V、Food, Clothing, Housing, Education, and Entertainment
1. Food
An ancient saying: Food is the heaven for peasants. Modern people demand fine foods with good quality in sufficient quantity. Exquisite, nutrient diet culture is now the new trend of diet in the modern society. According to modern execution concepts, punitive ideas are no longer adequate in modern times, and the diet for inmates at correction institutions is no longer simple and messy as it was in the 1960s and 1970s. Diet at modernized prisons must be sanitary, healthy, and exquisite. Reconstruction project of the kitchen site of the Prison has been reported to the Ministry of Justice in 2006 for budgeting. Design, planning, and construction began in June; a kitchen site that satisfies hygiene management and maintains inmates’ healthy diet, capable of supplying meals for more than 3,000 people, and equipped with automated machines is to be built. Completion of the kitchen site is scheduled for December 2006. Quota for monthly primary and supplementary foods for inmates is fixed. Subsidiary budget, partial of earning from business income and earning from Cooperative Store are used to improve inmates’ diet. In addition, sales of rice bran and kitchen waste are also listed as subsidiary fund for inmates’ supplementary foods and enriched menu on holidays.
Breakfast for inmates at the Prison is primarily rice porridge with side dishes of variety as supplementary foods. Steamed bun, rice, and soybean milk with jam and side dishes are served every Tuesday and Friday. Three dishes and one soup are served for lunch and dinner; the menu is exquisite and healthy with less fat, less salt, and less MSG. Fruits are also served every Monday and Thursday to meet the modern requirement on healthy diet of “three less and one more”. The quantity of food is more than sufficient, and inmates may have good, exquisite, and ample meals. Daily menu for thee meals is always exhibited in the exhibition cabinet at the Reception Room. The Enriched menu is served on three major annual holidays of the Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival as folk culture requires.
In order to meet hygiene management needs and maintain inmates’ healthy diet, the kitchen site managers arrange assigned areas to inmates for self-administered management and self-demand. In addition to daily cooking and cleaning tasks, personnel who have access to the kitchen site and equipment classified as high risk to injury such as kitchenware and boilers is controlled closely. The kitchen site staff are stringently demanded to implement double sterilization of cooking ware (wash with fresh water then soak in hot water). Also, in order to prevent cross contamination, all processing areas (cooking, meal distribution, cleaning) work independently to comply with safety and hygiene requirement. 
2、Clothing
According to Article 45 of Law of Execution in Prison, inmate’s hygiene are to be taken into account, and an inmate will be given food, goods, clothes, quilts and other necessities.
The Prison keeps an annual budget for every inmate in the Prison. Shirts and shorts for summer and thick jackets, long-sleeve shirts, and pants for winter are issued to inmates. If inmates have financial difficulty, then the Prison will provide quilts with cotton wadding, blanket, and bed linen. After the prison term is served, the above items shall be washed and cleaned and returned to the Prison. In addition, the sewing factories are located in workshops No. 8, 9 and 10; various winter clothes are kept at the sewing factories. Tailor made clothing for inmates are also available for the inmates providing clothing of every size and mending of worn cloths or unfit clothes.
3、Housing
Because the Prison has a history of more than 30 years, the wards are already obsolete and the equipments are already outdated. In the current fiscal year, the facilities in the inmates’ wards have been fully improved, so that inmates may live without worry and sleep in comfort; modernized correction and execution requirements are met. Currently every ward for inmate has ventilation and electric fans. All the wards have wood floors for their sleeping quarters, increasing space for the inmates. In addition, the ward corridors are equipped with ventilation equipment to enhance air ventilation. The facilities and lighting equipment in the wards satisfy regulations set by Ministry of Justice. Inmates are required to keep and arrange their personal items neatly. The number of inmate in ward is controlled at certain capacity to prevent undesired incidents caused by overcrowded space.
