Ex-inmate in S'pore prison documentary sentenced to jail after reoffending

Former inmate Graceson Ang, who starred in the Singaporean prison documentary "Inside Maximum Security," has been sentenced to three years and one month in jail for reoffending. Ang, 41, was found guilty of six charges and had nine others taken into consideration. He was sentenced despite pleading guilty to some charges. Ang's crime spree included failing to present his passport at an immigration checkpoint, making a false statement when applying for a passport online, and importing stun guns via parcel.

These offenses occurred while he was on remission, leading to an additional 510 days in prison. Ang's lawyer emphasized his family responsibilities and his efforts to secure employment, but the judge noted that his behavior was "recalcitrant" and that the contraband cigarette charges involved significant sums.
