   Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum is located at 45 Tung Tau Wan Road, Stanley, Hong Kong. It was originally housed in the Staff Training Institute of 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 with a collection of over 600 artifacts representing some 170 odd years of history.

   The museum comprises ten galleries with one mock gallows and two mock cells. A mock guard tower stands on top of the building and highlights the theme of the museum. An annex for presentation of correctional and rehabilitative services and for the display of handicrafts produced by prisoners was added to the museum several years ago. Outside the annex is a 200 square metre lookout point for visitors to savour the scenery of Tai Tam Bay.

   The museum is under the management of the Correctional Services Department Staff Training Institute (STI). Mr. KAN, Chi-shing, is currently the Principal of the STI.
