"Lifelong learning could not only be learnt by the \r\npublic but also by inmates in prisons. Open University \r\nMalaysia (OUM) had given the opportunity to inmates in \r\nSekolah Integriti Kajang (SIK), Kajang Prison to obtain \r\nhigher education in their fields of interest. As a university, \r\nOUM emphasized on the concept of Service to Society – \r\nnot only to the public but also to inmates in prison. All this \r\nwhile, a stigma exists; the inmates have no place in the \r\nsociety and their future is assumed to be bleak. \r\nNevertheless, the perception is changed after collaboration \r\nbetween OUM and the Prison Department of Malaysia. \r\nThis had given the inmates a learning opportunity in \r\npursuing their studies from the first degree to the master’s \r\ndegree. Being a university that focused on online learning, \r\nOUM had provided a flexible learning system to the \r\ninmates. Hence, they were able to follow the courses in the \r\nprograms offered to them. The role played by OUM in \r\noffering the education programs mark significant efforts in \r\nchanging the path for inmates to lead productive lives in \r\nsociety. This had enabled a change in the society’s \r\nperception towards the inmates in leading a better future \r\nafter life in prison. The impact of education is especially \r\nevident in prison. Rigorous study gives prisoners the \r\nintellectual leverage they need to revise their views of \r\nthemselves and leave prison better equipped to contribute \r\npositively to their families and communities. Studies have \r\nshown that those released prisoners who received an \r\neducation had a significantly lower rate of recidivism. (Abstract by author)"^^ . "2014-02-14" . . . . . . . . ""^^ .
