In Rawalpindi the Punjab Department of Prisons has introduced a new prison visitation app to allow inmates in all provincial jails to hold online meetings with their families. A formal notification has been issued by the department announcing the service and its rollout across Punjab.
Under the plan, special facility centres will be established inside jails to manage and facilitate these online visits. Authorities have also directed that awareness banners be displayed to inform families about the app and the procedures for scheduling virtual meetings.
The department has emphasized that with the prison visitation app families will no longer need to make repeated trips to jail premises for visits, as the app will provide a structured platform for arranging and conducting meetings remotely. Implementation will proceed provincewide with preparations already underway at district facilities.
