Based on the importance of the rehabilitation programs for inmates, UNSMIL and UNDP have launched a call for proposals for NGO’s to support with the rehabilitation programs for female inmates in Al-Jedeida prison, Tripoli.
As one UNSMIL – UNDP PSJP objective is to support the Ministry of Justice, Judicial Police on the reform initiative and implementation implementation of Law No. 5 and related legal instruments governing Libya’s prisons, and develop a clear conception of the purpose of imprisonment and an articulation of prisoners’ rights.
The aim of prisons is law enforcement, whereby the freedom of the individual is held as a punishment that takes into account international standards for normalizing the imprisoned environment within the reform, rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates, and thus these institutions seek to protect society from crime on the one hand and rehabilitate inmates on the other hand, This of course does not come unless the time they spend in prison is used to ensure the inclusion of inmates in society after their release, as stipulated in the Nelson Mandela Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners.
Consequently, one of the purposes of rehabilitating prison inmates is to provide them with the skills that enable them not to return to crime on the one hand and to ensure their subsequent integration into society after their release on the other hand. This requires preparing them for this by empowering them with skills and professions that help them support themselves and their families outside the prison walls, as well as by rehabilitating them psychologically to overcome the trauma of the past and what they went through.
