After visiting Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj in the afternoon, he said that inmates identified as offenders should receive moral guidance to return to their families as reformed people.
“Religious teachings will play a vital role in character development. The Islamic Foundation has appointed teachers to provide Islamic education, while arrangements for Hindu inmates are also in place,” he added.
He noted that more initiatives would be taken gradually to ensure inmates leave prison as humane and socially responsible individuals.
During the visit, the adviser also held discussions with several inmates.
Inspector General of Prisons Brig Gen Md Motaher Hossain, Additional IG Jahangir Kabir, Senior Jail Superintendent Suraiya Akter, and Jailor AKM Masum were present during the visit.
