Since 2019, the training has also been offered to women convicted under Morocco's Anti-Terrorism Act. That's been the case for just over half of the program's 222 graduates so far, the prison administration says. Graduating from the program doesn't make inmates automatically eligible for early release, but does increase their chances of getting a royal pardon or a reduced sentence. “It enables prisoners to form an awareness of the gravity of their mistakes,' he said. Moulay Idriss Agoulmam, the director of social-cultural action and prisoner reintegration at Morocco's prison administration, said the program is entirely voluntary and works with inmates “to change their behaviour and improve their life path.”
