Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum

The Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum (Chinese: 香港懲教博物館) is a museum in Tung Tau Wan Road, Stanley, Hong Kong, China. It was originally housed in the Staff Training Institute of the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department. Today it is housed in a two-storey building next to the parade ground of the Staff Training Institute. It has an area of 480 square metres (5,200 sq ft) with a collection of over 600 artifacts representing some 170 years of Hong Kong's criminal and rehabilitative past starting in the Qing dynasty (1644–1911) and extending through the colonial period, when piracy was punishable by death.[2]
