The Committee for the Welfare of Prisoners believes that legal awareness and sensitization towards rule of law should be an integral part of the training curriculum for all law enforcement professionals. A greater need was realized to improve capacities and to reflect on the major changes in New Sindh Prisons Rules.
The Committee organized a one-day training for Sindh Prison Officials on the ‘Sindh Prisons and Corrections Services Rules, 2020’ on June 12, 2021, at Pakistan Society for Training & Development (PSTD) in Karachi.
Alongside the new mechanisms for prison administration, the training also shared light on several important topics such as rules for admission of prisoners, their authorized absence, early discharge from prison, prisoners’ wellbeing, and rehabilitation, along with general rules relating to prison duty officers.
The day was graced by the presence of IG Prisons Sindh Mr. Kazi Nazeer Ahmed, Mr. Munawar Shah (Senior Superintendent Central Prison Mirpurkhas), Ms. Sheeba Shah (DIG Women & Juvenile Prison, Karachi), with outstanding participation by 25 of the executive staff (Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent) from the Sindh Prisons across Sindh.
