Английская Википедия:Islamabad Jail Complex
The Islamabad Jail Complex is a contemporary prison facility that is presently being built in Sector H-16, located in Islamabad, Pakistan.[1]
History
The construction of the Islamabad Jail Complex has experienced significant delays spanning a decade, primarily due to a lack of available funds.[2] However, in June 2022, former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif issued instructions to the relevant authorities to expedite the completion of this ongoing prison project in the upcoming fiscal year.[3] To oversee the progress and evaluate the prison project, he established a six-member committee led by the former Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan.[4]
Facilities
The Islamabad Jail Complex is currently being built on a sprawling 90-acre site and is designed to accommodate approximately 2,000 inmates.[5] This complex will include several key facilities, such as a 22-bed hospital, a school dedicated to the children of the jail staff, a mosque, a library, an auditorium, segregated cells for different purposes, and separate barracks for female and juvenile prisoners.[6] Additionally, the premises will feature schools, mosques, training centers, playgrounds, and courts for the Islamabad Capital Territory. Furthermore, there are plans to establish a training center specifically for prison officials within the complex.[4]
