On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, Detention Center No. 1 (Can Tho City) organizes many cultural, artistic and folk games activities for prisoners serving sentences. A joyful and safe atmosphere helps prisoners celebrate Tet in a healthy and humane reform environment.
Games such as tug-of-war, boat racing on land, throwing balls into glasses, biting spoons to pass lemons... are organized in accordance with actual conditions, attracting a large number of inmates to participate.
These activities show concern for the spiritual life of prisoners, contributing to encouraging them to feel secure in reforming and striving to reintegrate into the community soon.
Through collective activities, prisoners are not only trained in health but also enhanced in solidarity, discipline and responsibility in common activities. Laughter and cheers echoing in the camp yard have partly erased the daily tension, creating a close and positive atmosphere.
In addition to physical games, Detention Center No. 1 also organizes cultural activities and karaoke to celebrate spring. Many inmates boldly register to participate, showing their singing talent through songs praising their homeland, family and belief in the future. This is considered an opportunity for inmates to express their emotions, relieve their psychology, and thereby feel secure in reforming.
Prisoner Phan Thanh B said that after participating in games launched by the prison, he felt very excited and happy, relieving a lot of pressure in the process of serving his sentence.
These activities help us have more health, comfortable spirit and peace of mind for reform. I hope to soon enjoy the leniency of the Party and State to return to my family and become useful people for society," prisoner B shared.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Ly Be Tay - Deputy Head of Sub-prison, Detention Center No. 1 (Can Tho City), organizing cultural, artistic, and sports activities on the occasion of celebrating the Party and Spring is of great significance in the work of educating and reforming prisoners. Through these activities, the prison aims to train physically, improve spiritual life, and create an atmosphere of emulation in serving prison sentences throughout the sub-prison.
Through the movements, prisoners show a more excited and comfortable spirit and have the will to strive for reform. This is clearly shown through the attitude and facial expressions of prisoners after each cultural, artistic, and sports activity," Lieutenant Colonel Ly Be Tay added. At the same time, the activities also contribute to helping prisoners consolidate their belief in the Party's lenient policy and the State's laws.
Organizing folk games for prisoners during the Lunar New Year in Can Tho City not only shows humanity in criminal policy but is also a practical solution to encourage prisoners to strictly comply with regulations, actively work, study and reform for progress. Thereby, creating an important foundation to help prisoners soon reintegrate into the community and stabilize their lives after serving their sentences.
Spring and Tet celebration activities at Detention Center No. 1 have contributed to making the Tet atmosphere warmer, spreading messages of concern, sharing and belief in each person's ability to repent.
Detention Center No. 1 (Can Tho City) also said that the unit has developed a plan to organize for temporarily detained people, temporarily detained people and inmates to eat cakes, candies, and drink tea on New Year's Eve (29th Tet) of the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026.
