A graduation ceremony – celebrating the rehabilitation of the second, third and fourth batches of beneficiaries of the Open Prisons Programme – was held yesterday at the Public Security Officer’s Club in Manama.
The event, attended by high-ranking officials including Interior Minister General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa and Directorate of Verdict Enforcement and Alternative Sentencing director-general Shaikh Khalid bin Rashid Al Khalifa, marked another milestone in Bahrain’s innovative approach to rehabilitation.
Launched in 2022, the programme boasts a 97.5 per cent success rate, with 77 beneficiaries successfully reintegrating into society.
