About the Museum
Hong Kong's correctional system has a history of more than 180 years. During this period, Hong Kong's economic, political, judicial and social conditions have undergone changes, and the correctional system has also undergone many reforms. During the evolution, a large number of precious historical relics have been left behind, which is indeed an important part of Hong Kong's history.
In view of this, the Correctional Services Department opened the Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum on November 1, 2002. The Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum is located next to the playground of the Hong Kong Correctional College in Stanley. In a two-storey building with an area of about 480 square meters, it displays the development of the correctional system and prisons with more than 600 cultural relics and a large number of historical photos. internal appearance. There is a mock gallows and two mock cells inside the museum. There is a mock prison watchtower on the top of the museum, and the old prison walls in the garden outside the museum make visitors feel like they have walked into a time tunnel of Hong Kong's correctional history.
