Pang Sung Yuen talks about his impression on Victoria Prison and the reason of its de-commission

Pang Sung Yuen was impressed by the historical buildings of Victoria Prison. Nevertheless, the prison cannot meet the minimum standard rules for modern prisons despite the effort of the prison staff spent on maintenance. For example, the prison cell design was too old and small to install individual sanitary system. The failure to meet the modern prison standard is the main reason of the de-commission of Victoria Prison.
