Over three decades of supporting members across various phases of reintegration, we recognise that every journey is unique and takes years to overcome – for some, upon achieving stability and having successfully turned their lives around, they are willing to do more by sharing real life stories to inspire and hopefully deter others from going down a path of crime.
As early as 2015, ISCOS started working with such group and with more coming forward to contribute, the initiative gradually took shape and is currently known as the ISCOS Titans Programme.
Through avenues such as halfway houses, schools and online platforms, ISCOS Titans have spoken to inmates, youths at-risk, students and members of public. These sessions are often intriguing as the audience get to hear first-hand how drugs or other negative vices have lifelong impact on the individuals and their families. When the Titans shared about battling rejection and regaining their footing in society, their story of determination is an inspiration to many.
In addition to public sharing, Titans also helped to facilitate the support group sessions at ISCOS as well as selected in-care programmes with the Singapore Prison Service.

“Having gone through the struggles myself, it is now my turn to motivate and support my husband, daughter, and brother in their battles against drug addiction. I am thankful to ISCOS for providing support to me all these years, including helping my husband with his current job search. In the future, I hope to share my story with other addicts to show them that it is possible to live a good life without drugs!”
– Shidah, an ISCOS Titan
Muru, our ISCOS Titan, was part of a year-long in-care programme to engage the inmates regularly.
Having clocked over 200 hours across 56 sessions conducted throughout the year, Muru went into Cluster B3 every week to speak with them, sharing his own story and experiences.
“I was very skeptical (of Project Resolute) at first, but gradually I found that Muru’s words and advice made sense. Today, I have a stable job, a supportive wife and moreover, I was the first from the group to be released so there is surely some positive peer pressure to make sure I do not fall back.”
– Firoz, a participant of Project Resolute in 2022.
“To me, the ISCOS support group is one of the programmes I treasured most because I get to meet people from different backgrounds, regardless of race or religion and make new friends who have all taught me valuable lessons that I find useful for my own recovery journey.”
– Mark, an ISCOS Titan who has been attending the support group since 2018.
