The Department of Prisons says that a new program called e-Visit has been launched for relatives to visit inmates in prisons.
The Department of Prisons says that this will enable the relatives of the inmates to have discussions with their relatives in the prison through video technology from their homes and to inquire about their well-being.
The Department of Prisons also says that under the supervision of a prison officer, inmates are given the opportunity to connect with their relatives and family members once a month through video technology.
The Department of Prisons says that a new program has been introduced to improve the mental health of inmates and their relatives as the visit to inmates has been completely stopped due to the Covid epidemic and it is now being carried out successfully in all prisons.
According to the Department of Prisons, about 400 inmates a day will be able to interact with their relatives through video technology.
