Amman, Aug. 27 (Petra) — The Public Security Directorate (PSD) on
Thursday launched a new online service allowing lawyers to arrange
visits to clients held at correctional and rehabilitation centers, as
part of efforts to digitize procedures and improve access to
government services.

Under the new system, lawyers can submit visit requests in advance
through a dedicated online platform, allowing authorities to verify
that a client is being held at the specified facility, ensure that
visit requirements have been met and check for any restrictions
before the lawyer arrives at the center.

The service is intended to reduce processing time, simplify
procedures and improve the organization of lawyers’ visits to
correctional facilities.

Lawyers can submit requests through the “Special Visits for Lawyers”
form available on the Correctional and Rehabilitation Centers
Department section of the PSD’s official website. Requests will be
reviewed and processed electronically in accordance with established
procedures.

The PSD said use of the service is optional and does not alter the
legally established arrangements for lawyers’ visits, which will
continue on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays.

The service has initially been rolled out at six correctional and
rehabilitation centers: Muwaqqar 2, Marka, Zarqa, Birayn, Juweideh
and Irbid, following the completion of the necessary technical
preparations.

The directorate plans to gradually expand the system to other
correctional facilities across the Kingdom.

The PSD said the initiative is part of its ongoing efforts to
modernize correctional services by adopting digital solutions that
simplify procedures, speed up transactions and improve service
efficiency, while supporting the justice system and the rule of law.
