22°07′11″N 113°33′17″E / 22.119616°N 113.554602°E
The Correctional Services Bureau (Chinese: 懲教管理局, Portuguese: Direcção dos Serviços Correccionais, DSC) is the agency responsible for maintaining inmates in Macau. It is under the administration of the Secretariat for Security.
On 1 January 2016, Macau Prison (Estabelecimento Prisional de Macau) and the Youth Correctional Institution that was under the Legal Affairs Bureau were re-structured as the Correctional Services Bureau.
Per article 1 of Administrative Regulation No. 27/2015, the duties of the agency are to:
In 2004, there were about 921 (784 men and 137 women) inmates in the prison and divided amongst male and female inmates. With the 2010 population at 926, a new prison is being built in Ka Ho as the current facility can only hold 1500. The new prison was scheduled to open in 2014. However, this has since been delayed. At the end of December 2018, Coloane Prison held 1,458 inmates, 13.5% more than a year earlier.
Circa 2014 there were 959 prisoners, including 195 women. The total occupancy rate was 84%, with the women's area having an occupancy rate of 83%. Circa 2014 an expansion of the women's area was to add capacity for an additional 315 prisoners.
Per Law No. 2/2008 (Restructure of the Careers in the Security Forces and Departments), the following ranks are observed in the agency:
Due to the area's small population, there is only one prison for adults in Macau; Coloane Prison (路環監獄; Estabelecimento Prisional de Coloane or EPC), also known as Macau Prison (澳門監獄; Estabelecimento Prisional de Macau or EPM) was opened in 1990 and replaced the former Central Prison on the mainland (built from 1904 to 1909). The facility consists of a series or connected buildings surrounded by a white wall with barbed wire. Four watchtowers are found along the prison walls.
