I attended a series of award ceremonies held in conjunction with the 64th National Correctional Exhibition. Through the exhibition and sale of products made by inmates, as well as the presentation and commendation of video works created by young people in juvenile training schools, it was a valuable opportunity to share with all those involved the importance of initiatives that support rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

Witnessing the steady efforts of the many people working on the front lines, and the sincerity embedded in each of the works, reaffirmed for me how vital it is for society as a whole to support every single step in this process.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who dedicated themselves to organizing and running this event, as well as to all those who attended.
