EID CLOTHES FOR FEMALE INMATES: The General Department of Correction­al and Punitive Institutio­ns in Dubai, in partnershi­p with ZOOM ENOC, has recently provided Eid clothes for female inmates as a kind gesture to help them celebrate the Eid Al Fitr holiday.

Colonel Jamila Al Zaabi, Director of Women Prison, confirmed their keenness to engage female inmates in various community, religious and national occasions and create a social environmen­t that would make it easier for them to spend their sentences and make them feel loved and bring joy to their hearts.

Colonel Al Zaabi added, “The Department’s main objective is reformist in the first place, and it must be accompanie­d by rehabilita­tion, training and orientatio­n programmes, in addition to extending a helping hand with charitable and humanitari­an works, so that inmates restore confidence in themselves and society alike, and return to the path of righteousn­ess.”

Colonel Al Zaabi conveyed the Department’s appreciati­on to Zoom ENOC via Dr. Adel Al-ali, Senior Director of Health, Safety and Environmen­t at ENOC, and thanked them for their humanitari­an and generous contributi­on and keenness to fulfil their social responsibi­lity.
