This prison has 40 workshops. When an inmate is sent to prison, he is assigned to a workshop according to education, specialty, propensity, interest, and health situation. There are also a number of self-run businesses, including sewing (for making police and prison uniforms and processing Western suits), printing (for page composition with the use of computer), farming (for growing organic vegetables), and processing (divided into art objects, mechanical machinery, paper products, miscellaneous objects, sewing and laundry). Business lines are adjusted or added in keeping with economic development. Participants in these businesses are paid, and outstanding ones, who can meet the standard of reward, are given additional business rewards.

A skill training center was established in 1980 with approval of the Ministry of Justice. Technical training courses, including printing and sewing, were opened with the use of the available facilities. In July 2009 and January 2002, the prison upgraded the level of training in food-baking and computer software to the cultivation of Class-C technicians. The graduates are helped to participate in technicians’ capability tests given by the Council for Workforce Development Agency,Ministry of Labor. In addition, a short-term training course on local snacks was opened in August 2001 to help the inmates to make a living in society after discharge.

At present, technical courses are opened to train technicians in 5 categories. The graduates have participated in the skill test of 3 grades after an intensive training from 3.5 months to one year and won Class C licenses.
