Inmate Story's Introduction

Dear readers, my name is Jer, known as ''Áh Bee'' during my days in prison. I am  the founder of Singapore Prison Stories (SPS). I am an ex-convict who has served my jail term from July 2011 to August 2011. I was imprisoned in CPC (Changi Prison Complex) for a month, and served the remaining of my sentence under PPP (Home Detention Program). Throughout my 'short' two months of incarceration and the home detention program, I have come across and met a number of ex-convicts who have committed all types of offences. They shared with me their backgrounds and personal stories, all of which have taught me so much, and made me better understand and appreciate the meaning of life itself.

I sincerely hope that my life story here can actually help out any of you readers or the people around you. Think twice before you commit a crime and always be prepared to face the consequences – jail time, caning, a fine, and even the social stigma when you are released. Committing a crime is always never a necessity, but an option. You have the power to choose.
