About Us

Since 1989, the Industrial and Services Co-operative Society Limited (ISCOS) has been extending friendship and support to its members (ex-offenders) and their families so that they can lead meaningful and productive lives. Under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs, ISCOS is the only co-operative in Singapore that actively engages the community to help ex-offenders gain a foothold in society.
Vision

Enabling ex-offenders to achieve sustainable careers, build cohesive families and lead positive lives.

Mission

To promote self-esteem and economic independence in ex-offenders while guiding them towards good citizenship and good value systems.

Values

We strive to provide programmes and services that are relevant to the beneficiaries, based on individual needs.

We strive to always do the right thing. It is important to set a positive example by exhibiting the value of integrity in our work and the way we serve our stakeholders.

We strive to treat our members and beneficiaries with respect. We must also show respect to our partners, donors and volunteers, as it is through mutual respect that we could work together to help improve the lives of our beneficiaries.

We aim to be able to understand and share the feelings of our beneficiaries and fellow colleagues, towards creating a more humane and caring environment.

Throughout the journey from incarceration to reintegration, our throughcare approach stands out as a comprehensive and compassionate strategy designed to address the unique challenges faced by ex-offenders at every stage of their reintegration journey.

CARE Network

ISCOS is proud to be one of the founding members of the Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (CARE) Network, an alliance formed in 2000 dedicated to community engagement, coordination of aftercare efforts and enhancing service delivery for ex-offenders and families. We are also one of the agencies participating in the Desistor Network, a recent initiative by Singapore Prison Service.
