DUBAI // The Dar Al Ber Society is set to introduce more services for inmates at prisons in the emirates, reports Wam.
The charity hopes to provide educational, religious and cultural awareness programmes as well as more books of different languages for libraries in punitive and correctional establishments in Dubai.
It followed discussions between charity officials and those from the General Directorate of Punitive and Correctional Establishments.
Both sides also talked over the results of a reading contest, which was aimed at encouraging inmates to read more as part of the Reading Nation drive.
The winners were given gifts with valuable prizes, said Wam.
