The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service has launched a new rehabilitation program that utilizes scientific methods to assist inmates. Deputy Commissioner-General Musango announced the Evidence-Based Rehabilitation initiative at a recent seminar. The program replaces old methods with personalized treatment plans based on data and research. Officials design individual programs for each prisoner rather than using the same approach for everyone. This represents a major change from traditional prison practices.
Musango described his vision of prisons becoming places of positive change, rather than centers that create angry people. The program aims to help former prisoners return to society as productive family members, workers, business owners, and community leaders. Harare Metropolitan Province will serve as the main location for this new approach. The province houses more inmates than any other region in the country. Prison officials believe this scientific method will transform both individual lives and society as a whole.
