AMMAN — Public Security Directorate (PSD) Director Maj. Gen. Obeidallah Maaytah on Saturday ordered honouring 42 inmates from correctional and rehabilitation centres who passed the 2025 General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (Tawjihi).

 

Maaytah expressed the PSD's commitment to implementing a “comprehensive reform philosophy” within correctional facilities, tailored to inmates’ needs and aimed at helping them continue their education and lead constructive lives while in custody, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

 

He noted that one inmate achieved a score of 85.7 per cent, calling this outcome a “clear” indicator of the success of the correctional system’s educational and rehabilitative programmes.

 

These programmes, he added, are regularly reviewed, updated, and supplemented with new initiatives designed to ensure decent living conditions for inmates, support behavioural reform, and equip them with the skills needed to reintegrate into society as productive citizens after release.

 

Maaytah also expressed his appreciation to all staff at the Correctional and Rehabilitation Centres Department for their efforts in implementing reform policies, particularly educational initiatives that have produced such achievements.

 

He stressed the importance of developing new ways to help successful inmates pursue higher education and continue academic or vocational training, in cooperation with relevant institutions.
