The country’s parole and community service program for prisoners has been a success.

The Home Ministry says an average of only one out of every 800 prisoners involved in the program – or less than one percent - end up returning behind bars.

This compares to the over 18 percent of convicts who end up returning to a life of crime, when they do not follow the rehabilitation program.
