Bahrain to Use Apps to Monitor Alternative Penalties Remotely

Minister of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments issued an edict on using electronic systems and applications to monitor the implementation of rehabilitation and training programs for convicts benefiting from alternative punishment remotely.

Under the edict, the party implementing the rehabilitation and training programs shall use electronic systems or applications that ensure live high-quality audio-visual broadcasting of the content of the program.

The systems or apps to be used shall provide information about the convicts’ participation in the programs, as well as their discipline.

They will also notify the beneficiaries from the alternative punishment about the dates of on-line lectures.
