Title: The Regulatory Framework of Correctional Management in Malaysia: A Critical Analysis of the Prisons Regulations 1953 exploring its historical context
Abstract The Malaysian prison system operates under a dual legislative framework comprising the Prisons Act 1995 (Act 537) and its subsidiary legislation, the Prisons Regulations 1953. While the Act provides the statutory backbone for the establishment and administration of penal institutions, the Regulations offer the granular operational procedures necessary for daily governance. This paper examines the Prisons Regulations 1953, exploring its historical context, its role in maintaining institutional discipline, the safeguarding of prisoners’ rights, and its adaptability to modern correctional philosophies such as rehabilitation and reintegration. The analysis highlights the tension between the punitive origins of the regulations and the contemporary shift towards restorative justice in Malaysia.
