The initiative forms part of its digital transformation and process automation drive, aimed at improving safety and service delivery within correctional and rehabilitation facilities.

Counsellor Yousef Saeed Al Abri, ADJD Undersecretary, stated that these advanced projects are a direct implementation of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Presidential Court and Chairman of ADJD.

He said the new systems are intended to strengthen monitoring capabilities and improve emergency response, while helping inmates access legal rights through a platform that provides direct links to the judicial system.
