Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises
The Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises (SCORE) ws a statutory board set up under the Ministry of Home Affairs. As part of Singapore's correctional system, SCORE enhances the employability of offenders and prepare them for the eventual reintegration back to the workforce. Work programme was introduced in Singapore prisons as early as 1945. But it was not until 1955 that a Prison Industries Division was formally set up to institute work as part of the prison regime. In an effort to improve efficiency and flexibility in business operations, it was recommended that the Division be converted into a statutory board and on 1 April 1976, SCORE officially took over the role and functions of Prisons Industries. It has since been renamed as Yellow Ribbon Singapore.
