The State does, however, recognize that there are still challenges to meet. It has undertaken to expand national prison capacity by 24,331 places by building ten new prison complexes. It is also designing and introducing new means of restricting liberty such as electronic tagging as an alternative to a [prison] sentence, and the urban farming programme, which is intended to train inmates to provide enough food for themselves and their families when they are freed.
