The Executive Committee of the Economic Council (ECC) in Pakistan has approved 2.1 billion Pakistani Rupees for the construction of a new “model jail” in Islamabad. The project aims to address overcrowding and improve conditions within the existing prison system. Details regarding the jail’s capacity and specific features were not immediately released. This funding approval signifies a commitment to infrastructure development within the country’s correctional facilities. The ECC’s decision is expected to facilitate the building of a modern prison complex intended to adhere to improved standards of detainee welfare. Construction timelines and further project specifics are pending official announcements. The allocated funds will cover the initial costs associated with the jail’s design and building phases.
