'Made in Prison' charity online gift platform selling handcrafted goods by inmates
To promote social support for rehabilitation efforts, the Correctional Services Department Sports Association launched the "Made in Prison" charity online gift sales platform today (Jan. 23). This platform features products meticulously designed and manufactured by incarcerated individuals.
The diverse range of products available includes wooden items, jewelry, stationery, rattan goods, daily necessities, eco-friendly products, and handicrafts. After deducting necessary expenses, all proceeds from sales will be donated to various local registered charities, providing incarcerated individuals a chance to give back to society.
The Correctional Services Department is dedicated to offering a variety of vocational training courses to inmates, helping them learn contemporary production skills and knowledge to enhance their employability upon release. Previously, products made by inmates were only available at specific events, such as the autumn sales and trade fairs organized by the Sports Association. Due to the popularity of these items among the public, the association has now launched an online sales platform, allowing citizens to conveniently order products designed and made by incarcerated individuals to support their rehabilitation.
During the Lunar New Year period, "Made in Prison" is also offering a special promotion: free shipping on orders over HK$200.
