Job fair offers work to prisoners

Inmates apply jobs at a job fair held in a prison in Yinchuan, the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, July 5. About 60 enterprises offered over 2,000 jobs to nearly 500 prisoners in different areas of construction, mechanics and trades. The prison provides training in welding, cooking and other techniques to more than 600 prisoners and certificates are given to those who are qualified. This helps the prisoners fit back into society after they are released. [Photo/Xinhua]
