AMMAN — Public Security Department (PSD) Director Maj. Gen. Atef Saudi on Wednesday inaugurated the revamped Juweideh Correctional and Rehabilitation Centre.

The improvements came as part of the PSD’s keenness to meet international standards at the oldest centre in the Kingdom, Saudi said in a PSD statement.

The centre can now accommodate up to 1,600 inmates, and has a garden to receive inmates’ guests and families, he said. Saudi noted that the centre will resume receiving inmates as of Thursday.
