Description of Our Community: Changhua Prison, located in Erlin Township of Changhua County, was established in 1995. The detention center now houses almost 2800 male inmates who were either first time offenders or recidivists and satisfy the requirements for youth detention and rehabilitation. Changhua Prison emphasized educational therapies by encouraging unique cultural industries and artistic environments. The Prison was successful in promoting their 2099 Buckwheat Noodles throughout Taiwan, and their lantern works also achieved great success in national competitions. Their Drum & Dance Percussion Band, instructed by U Theatre, was also successful outside the prison walls, spreading the messages of hope around our country.
