  • Education: Formal and non-formal programs to enhance literacy and academic growth.
  • Psychological Support: Counseling, mental health initiatives, and reintegration programs.
  • Health and Welfare: Access to quality healthcare, sanitation, and welfare services.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prisons Department is a progressive department which aims at ensuring the return of the offender to the society as a useful citizen. The gradual transformation of Prisons’ administration, in line with the correctional philosophy and rehabilitative approach towards the jail inmates, has resulted in a wholesome and healthy environment in jails. Today, the Department not only lays a great emphasis on the moral education of the inmates but also carries a holistic approach with a view to facilitating the post-release reintegration of the prisoners with the mainstream society. The vision of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prisons Department is to be professional, service-oriented, and accountable. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prisons Department aims at ensuring the return of the offender to the society as a normal and useful citizen rather than a discarded entity. Thus, a strong emphasis is laid on the reformation and rehabilitation of inmates besides maintaining good discipline in prisons. The Department firmly believes in “hate for crime but not for criminal” and also the fact that protection of society cannot be achieved merely by detention. The Department provides self-improvement opportunities to assist the offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens.

In alignment with the directives of the Prime Minister and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, we aim to implement a comprehensive prison reforms agenda by fostering collaboration with civil society and social sector NGOs. Our reforms focus on providing inmates with:

  • Skill Development and Vocational Training: Establishing workshops and industries within prisons to equip inmates with practical skills for economic self-reliance after release.
  • Educational Programs: Offering formal and non-formal education to enhance literacy and provide opportunities for academic advancement.
  • Psychological and Social Support: Conducting counseling sessions, mental health initiatives, and reintegration programs to address emotional and social challenges faced by inmates.
  • Health and Welfare Services: Ensuring access to quality healthcare, sanitation, and welfare facilities within prisons.
  • Employment Opportunities: Creating avenues for inmates to earn a livelihood while serving their sentences through productive work.

Through these initiatives, the Prisons Department KP seeks to transform prisons into centers of learning, skill development, and positive change, preparing inmates to reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prisons Department is a progressive department which aims at ensuring the return of the offender to the society as a useful citizen. The gradual transformation of Prisons’ administration, in line with the correctional philosophy and rehabilitative approach towards the jail inmates, has resulted in a wholesome and healthy environment in jails. Today, the Department not only lays a great emphasis on the moral education of the inmates but also carries a holistic approach with a view to facilitating the post-release reintegration of the prisoners with the mainstream society. This Department firmly believes in “hate for crime but not for criminal”. It also recognizes the fact that the notion of a safe society cannot be realised merely by detention unless the offender is  corrected and reformed while being in prison. Towards this objective, the Department has undertaken a number of measures. The Department is functioning under the administrative control of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Home Department. The Inspector General of Prisons is Head of the Department at Provincial level, assisted by Five (5) Circle Headquarters of Prisons in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province i.e. Circle Headquarters Prison (Peshawar, Mardan, Haripur, Bannu, D.I.Khan).
