(HBO) – A library was established inside the detention centre of the Hoa Binh provincial police three years ago, aiming to educate and inspire inmates towards the good. The library, set up by the provincial library and the police department in June 2017, is part of a joint programme signed between the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security in 2014. The programme facilitates the two ministries’ coordination in organising cultural and sport events at prisions, detention centres, compulsory educational establishments and juvies across the country.

Leaders of the provincial literature and arts association present books to the library inside the detention centre of the Hoa Binh provincial police department.

The library has been better-equipped with nice chairs and tables as well as well-organised shelves of books that are friendly to readers.

According to leaders of the detention centre, the library has proved effective as it welcomes many inmate readers, improving quality of the education here. The model is humane and should be expanded to other centres, one of the leaders said, adding that the centre wants to open a similar library for prisioners in its Bac Phong division.

The library has given inmates access to meaningful books that bring them comfort, faith, mental support and positive thoughts about life. Many books also provide them with information about their legitimate rights and benefits and with ideas for the future career after they are released./.
