InnoYOUTH (Innovative Youth) Empowering Kajang Prison Inmates (Youths) in Digital Micro- Enterprises is a social project
to empower 250 inmates of Kajang Prison in multimedia and desktop publishing skill as to
enable them to become microentrepreneurs once they are released. The project aims to
give guidance, hope, skills and confidence for the inmates to start afresh a new lease of life
- using ICT skills to earn a living. InnoYouth project will provide hope and instil sense of self-
respect for the inmates and help to reduce 're-offending' cases. 250 inmates are being
