New Learning Hub at Kordin Correctional Facility Enhances Rehabilitation Efforts

Mar 15 2025

The ongoing renovation and improvement efforts at the Kordin Correctional Facility are not only enhancing the environment for both staff and inmates but are also strengthening rehabilitation initiatives.

This progress has been made possible as Kordin is now drug-free and operates with greater order, allowing more focus on rehabilitation.

A key example of this transformation is the newly established learning hub, equipped with modern classrooms and essential resources to support education and training for both staff and inmates.

This initiative is already yielding positive results, with the Correctional Services Agency continuing to invest in better training and rehabilitation opportunities.

The goal is to help inmates reintegrate into society successfully, supported by highly trained staff.

During the inauguration of the learning hub, Minister for Home Affairs, Security, and Employment Byron Camilleri highlighted the government’s commitment to rehabilitation.

He emphasised that the learning hub plays a crucial role in equipping inmates with the skills needed to secure employment and lead a stable life after their release.

Chris Siegersma, CEO of the Correctional Services Agency, stressed the importance of education in rehabilitation.

He stated that by providing both academic and practical training, inmates can prepare for the job market, reducing the likelihood of reoffending and ultimately creating a safer society.

Malta To Move Forward with Electronic Monitoring Justice Reform

Mar 15 2025

The preparatory work for the implementation of electronic monitoring in Malta is at an advanced stage, with the central system installed and testing already underway.

This initiative is another step in the government’s plan to modernise the country and fulfil its electoral commitments. The introduction of electronic monitoring marks a significant shift in Malta’s justice and correctional services, aiming to enhance public safety while supporting the reintegration of offenders into society.

The legislation on electronic monitoring was presented in Parliament by the Minister for Home Affairs, Security, and Employment, Byron Camilleri. During a visit, he observed the testing process, emphasising that the primary focus remains on victims. He stated that reforms must not re-victimise individuals and highlighted complementary measures, such as establishing an agency for crime victims.

The minister underlined the importance of rehabilitation, noting that this modern system aligns with practices in other countries. The law was shaped through extensive consultation and legal analysis, including court rulings.

With technological infrastructure, equipment, and training in place, the reform is progressing steadily. Once approved by Parliament, its implementation will roll out in phases. Minister Camilleri concluded that this reform will lead to a stronger and safer system in specific circumstances.

Official Music Video For ‘SERVING’ Has Dropped!

Mar 14 2025

It’s official – the music video and the revamp of this year’s Malta Eurovision Song Contest entry are out!

The official song title is now ‘SERVING’, with the word ‘KANT’ being hushed out even in the music video.

Still, the music video delivered in every possible way – with the video being based ‘on true events’, it reflects on all that happened leading to and after Miriana’s victory.

The video makes reference to Miriana’s accident after the Eurovision final, the hate comments directed at the singer as well as the censorship of the original song title by the EBU and BBC.

From the dance numbers to the stunning scenes, Miriana absolutely served! And we’re sure she’ll be serving in Basel this coming Eurovision!

What do you think?
