The International Ombudsman Institute (IOI) President Chris Field has praised Bahrain’s open prison and rehabilitation centre in Hamala, calling it a “model that can be used in other countries.”
In an interview with The Daily Tribune, Chris said, “This is an exceptional facility. I have seen prisons all around the world, and I have never seen a prison—an open prison—as incredibly impressive as this one. You are creating an environment where people, the detainees, can learn new skills and take those skills into employment and back into their culture and their Bahraini community.”
Chris made this statement while visiting the open prison and rehabilitation centre in Hamala with high-level representatives from Italy, Belarus, Pakistan, and a few other countries as part of the General Secretariat of Grievances conference held in Manama.
