Department of Operations is responsible for managing work conditions within the factories, and for instructing the skills training for inmates. In recent years, the education of inmates has received more attention. In order to teach inmates the habit of labor and to learn a skill, there are courses on advertisement design, architectural drawing, furniture repair, sewing, baking, and cooking; in addition, there are courses that teach about traditional industrial arts that are in danger of disappearing. Work distribution is based on personal skills, length of sentences, and interest; inmates are also audited. The purpose of work is to train their hearts and minds, so that they are active and not bored and brooding. They can also learn skills that allow them to get their lives back on track after they return to society.
There are 4 processing fa ctories – the printing factory, bamboo factory, woodwork factory, and machinery factory. Each factory can accommodate about 80 workers.

The Old Prison rarely sells things outside of the prison, and tend to only be purchased by the personnel.
The new prison conducts its transactions according to the locations designated by the government, accepting orders from institutions, organizations, or individuals to make or process items. For example, items can be sold at the storefront section or at some farmer and fisher markets. Labor fees encourage the inmates, who also gain a sense of accomplishment, prison personnel bonuses, and living subsidies. Inmates can use such fees to purchase living necessities, and can even alleviate the pressures on their families.

These are divided into work, cultivation, and behavior; these are respectively scored by the work teacher, training teacher, and supervisor. The maximum score was 4, and the score of 4 is reserved for exceeding work quotas. For example, if one had to make 500 items per day, and the inmate makes 800, he would have 4 points. Conversely, 1 is the minimum point, and inmates who do far less than the work quota receive only 1 point; for example, if one had to make 500 items per day, and the inmate only makes 100, he only receives 1 point.
