The conference was chaired by Director of the Police Department of Prison, Correctional Institution and Juvenile Reformatory Management Major General Nguyen Thanh Truong.

During the first half of 2026, the Prison, Correctional Institution and Juvenile Reformatory Management Force made efforts to overcome difficulties and effectively implement the policies and solutions set out for the period.

Notably, the force ensured absolute security and safety at prisons, compulsory education institutions, and reformatory schools in all circumstances, particularly during the 14th National Party Congress, the Lunar New Year, the elections of deputies to the 16th National Assembly, and the elections of People's Councils at all levels for the 2026–2031 tenure.

He further directed the Department to continue coordinating the implementation of the vocational training and employment program, clearly assigning responsibilities to each unit; strictly comply with regulations on fundamental policing operations; strengthen coordination with the Ministry's operational units in crime prevention and control; and effectively implement projects approved by the Prime Minister as well as those managed by the Department.

The Deputy Minister also requested the accelerated implementation of the Smart Prison Project, the development of integrated and interoperable databases, strict adherence to working regulations in accordance with the principles of democratic centralism, transparency, and accountability, strengthened political and ideological education, encouragement for officers to overcome difficulties, continued implementation of the “Three Bests” emulation movement, and full implementation of policies and benefits for officers and personnel.
