Over 946 inmates benefited from the rehabilitation programmes held during the first half of the year.
The General Department of Punitive and Correctional Establishments at Dubai Police educated, trained, and rehabilitated the inmates to give them the right skills to start a new life after serving time.
The training is done in four sections, the educational programmes, where educational facilities, courses and materials are provided to complete their education, the religious programmes that focus on spreading religious awareness through lectures, seminars, courses and workshops for memorising the Holy Qur’an, the third being the sports programmes, which organises sports activities and competitions throughout the year and the occupational training which helps inmates learn vocational and technical skills that could help them land jobs once released.
The programmes also helps in getting rid of the fear of going back to the community after serving their sentence.
