Male’ Prison is the place where people convicted of house arrest, banishment and prison are initially brought to. Also, inmates from other prisons that are brought to Male’ for various reasons are kept at the Male’ Prison until the purpose is fulfilled.
The reception of Male’ Prison is designed to offer services to the families of inmates, such as acceptance of forms for family visits, lawyer visits, conjugal visits as well as handing over of approved forms for the afore-mentioned visits.
