Besides the main line which produces 10,000 loaves of bread a day, Mr Leong (above) set up an artisan section, where inmates make tasty treats such as pineapple ingots and macarons, which are then supplied to cafes and confectionaries. -- ST PHOTO: KUA CHEE SIONG

STEPPING into the bakery at Changi Prison's A3 cluster, a great roar greets you.

It is a mechanical medley, from the hum of the truck-sized oven that churns out more than 1,500 loaves an hour, to the whirring mixers which knead the dough into shape.

Working with this metallic orchestra to turn 3,500kg of flour into 10,000 loaves a day are 120 inmates, each dressed in the white cotton garb of a prison baker. Watching over it all is Mr Kenny Leong, master baker and mentor.

"The first thing I tell them, this work is tiring, if you work for 10 hours; you'll stand for 10 hours. But if you develop a passion for it, you will like it," said the 50-year-old.
