Inside Maximum Security: Breaking Bad Habits
Singapore's prison system runs on strict routine, but this episode follows what happens once that structure disappears. Boon Keng, caught in a cycle of reoffending, tries to confront the habit that keeps sending him back inside. Iskandar, given a second chance, picks up an opportunity he let slip as a child. Rusdi's family pushes back when he considers returning to the job that dragged him into crime in the first place, and Khai sits with psychologists working through his past under supervision. The film intercuts these four threads with footage inside the facility and conversations with the men after release, letting routines of lockdown contrast with the disorientation of choice. It is one entry in a series tracking inmates through incarceration and reentry, and its focus stays narrow: not the crimes themselves but the daily mechanics of trying not to repeat them, with families, counselors, and old temptations all pulling in different directions.
