The two-year recidivism rates for persons released from the Drug Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) and Long-Term Imprisonment 1 (LT1) from 2010 to 2013 are as shown in the table below.

The recidivism rates of drug inmates have come down significantly from 60%-70% in the 1990s. The improvement was a result of rehabilitation programmes, as well as tough enforcement measures.

Singapore Prison Service (SPS) has been continuing to enhance its rehabilitation programmes. For example, under the enhanced Drug Rehabilitation Regime introduced in 2014, inmates are placed on programmes tailored to their drug addiction issues and re-offending risks.

SPS also introduced the Enhanced Supervision Scheme in 2012 to provide more intensive care for high-risk LT inmates. The aftercare enhancements include mandatory casework, individual counselling and community supervision.
