Subhuman conditions in Malaysian jails and an apparent lack of political will for reform plague ex-prisoners, curtailing their already slim chances of rehabilitation and return to society.
BFM talks to Jerald Joseph, a former national human rights commissioner with Suhakam, about the challenges of prison reform and his recommendations on what to prioritise in policymaking.
Produced by: Shazana Mokhtar Presented by: Khoo Hsu Chuang, Philip See and Wong Shou Ning
