The Correctional Affairs Department is responsible for Somalia’s prison and rehabilitation systems. It focuses on the reintegration of former detainees into society through vocational training and education programs. The department ensures that correctional facilities meet national standards and respect human dignity, security, and rehabilitation principles.

It also supervises custodial services, workforce training for correctional officers, and ensures compliance with legal and human rights frameworks for detention centers. The goal is to transform the penal system into one that is rehabilitative, not punitive.
