Remember the TV series ‘Prison Break’? Apparently, there are three boys who’ve attempted to escape from Boys’ Home, prison break style.
The Great Escape
Three accomplices of a youth under the age of 16 who hatched a plan to escape from the Singapore Boys’ Home, were dealt with on Thursday. Zain Sani, Salman An-Farisi Yusri and Nicholas Koh Hwee Kiat, all 16, were sentenced to reformative training.
They pleaded guilty to being members of an unlawful assembly to commit vandalism, as well as abetment to escape from legal custody at the Singapore Boys’ Home.
The three are among the 26 boys who caused $18,362 worth of damage in the juvenile rehabilitation centre which is in Jurong West Street 24, on Sept 19 last year. They’ve sparked off a six-hour stand-off with Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) staff and police.
The Incident
A plan was passed among the rooms in the centre in a piece of paper. The boys believed that the room gates would open once they trigger the fire alarm. Hence, one of the boys deliberately activated it at 11.12pm on the day of the incident. However, the gates remained shut, which caused them to kick up a ruckus. Two MSF officers on night duty went to investigate, and a dispute broke out.
The officers tried to stop the boys but to no avail, hence they called the police. Furthermore, two boys were even negotiating with the officers, asking for cigarettes and demanding that all 26 of them be allowed to walk out of their rooms together. In the end, they finally surrendered after their demands were rejected. They were then taken away by the Police after the barricades were removed.
They could be jailed up to three years with between three and eight strokes of cane, judging from their misdeeds. It’s unfortunate to be receiving such news, we hope that the boys would learn from their mistakes and not attempt it again. Seriously though, did they thought that they were filming ‘Prison Break’?
