HeWolf said:Depends on which prison(s) you're talking about.
Some prisons (e.g. Queenstown remand, sembawang drug, admiraty west, portsdown, tampines) can be access via public road.
So if you're on the road 'outside', you're in public area. I doubt anyone can stop you from doing what you like.
some prisons (e.g. Changi, moon cresent, changi women, tanah merah) got to enter via a guard house prior to seeing the main entrances. Hence once you're inside (for a valid reason, like visit), you're oblige to their restrictions.
Anyway changi, moon cresent, jalan awan already evaculated (shifted to the new cluster). I guess it's only a matter of time to tearing down the building.
Heard that only the front wall of changi prison will be retained.
whoelse said:As long as there is a protected sign, photography is not allowed. Even snapping of CHIJMES near SMRT is not allowed too. The sentry has all the rights to retain your gear for investigation for national security reasons. As long as dont be seen than nothing will happen.
