THE VISION

" To make Sri Lanka Prison Service the best prison service in the South East Asia"

The basic aspects of the main objective of making Sri Lanka Prison Service the best prison service in the South East Asia is custody,care and rehabilitation of prisoners.

Further, the achievement of our vision is based on the facts such as the upholding of the rules and regulations of the constitution of Sri Lanka, elimination of corruption, use of new technical know-how and the re-orientation of the attitudes of officers and prisoners.
