The Shura Council in Bahrain unanimously endorsed a piece of legislation aimed at reforming the General Directorate of Reformation and Rehabilitation to enhance the management of detainees and prisoners. These amendments, approved in accordance with the Legislation and Legal Opinion Commission, focus on improving detainee services and positively impacting their families’ mental health. The draft law, which received approval from the Council of Representatives on April 30th, seeks to broaden visitation rights, ensure free healthcare for inmates and pre-trial detainees, and support prisoners’ connections with their community. This legislation reflects Bahrain’s commitment to its reformation agenda and marks a significant milestone in the transformation of the prison system.

Dr. Ali Mohamed Alromaihi, the Head of the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and National Security Committee, emphasized the importance of the separation of powers as a fundamental principle in Bahrain’s governance, especially on the occasion of His Majesty the King’s silver jubilee. Dr. Mohamed Ali Hasan Ali further commended the reformist legislation for setting a new benchmark in the prison system, highlighting the need for terminology that reflects a rehabilitative and growth-oriented approach in the proposed amendments. Dr. Fatema Alkooheji advocated for using phrases like “correct the inmate’s behavior” and “improve the behavior of the inmate” instead of focusing on correcting mistakes or developing behavior, emphasizing the importance of a positive and supportive language in the reformation process.

The amendments proposed in the legislation aim to enhance the management of detainees and prisoners by improving access to services, supporting connections with the community, and prioritizing the mental health of both inmates and their families. By broadening visitation rights and ensuring free healthcare for inmates and pre-trial detainees, the legislation seeks to create a more rehabilitative and supportive environment within the prison system. It also reflects Bahrain’s commitment to upholding human rights principles and promoting the well-being of all individuals under its care.

The support for the reformist legislation from both the Council of Representatives and the Shura Council highlights the consensus on the importance of improving the prison system in Bahrain. The focus on enhancing services, promoting rehabilitation, and supporting detainees’ connections with their community underscores the government’s dedication to reform and progress in this critical area. As Bahrain commemorates His Majesty the King’s silver jubilee, the approval of this legislation marks a significant step forward in transforming the prison system and setting a new standard for inmate welfare and rehabilitation in the country.

The positive impact of the reformist legislation on the lives of detainees, prisoners, and their families is a priority for Bahrain’s leadership. By endorsing amendments that emphasize support, rehabilitation, and community connections, the government demonstrates its commitment to upholding human rights and promoting positive change within the prison system. The continued efforts to improve detainee services and prioritize mental health reflect Bahrain’s dedication to its reformation agenda and its vision for a more inclusive and supportive society.

In conclusion, the unanimous endorsement of the reformist legislation by the Shura Council represents a significant milestone in Bahrain’s commitment to improving the management of detainees and prisoners. By enhancing services, broadening visitation rights, and prioritizing mental health, the government is taking important steps towards creating a more rehabilitative and supportive environment within the prison system. As Bahrain commemorates His Majesty the King’s silver jubilee, the approval of this legislation underscores the nation’s dedication to reform, progress, and the well-being of all individuals under its care.
