Human Rights examines UAE prison reforms
The National Human Rights Authority in the UAE has affirmed that addressing prison overcrowding requires tackling the root causes of the rising number of detainees and reducing reliance on deprivation of liberty as a punishment. This can be achieved through the development of legal alternatives and the provision of a safe and humane detention environment. The authority reviewed best practices within the country, such as community service, alternative penal measures, electronic monitoring, and parole, as well as educational and rehabilitation programs that help reduce recidivism. International recommendations call for expanding the use of non-custodial alternatives, improving institutional infrastructure, accelerating digital transformation, and measuring the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs according to international standards.
