Zimbabwe is reinstating its Parole System to ease prison overcrowding and promote inmate reintegration, according to Prisons Commissioner-General Moses Chihobvu. The reform, alongside the new Pathways to Reintegration Foundation, aligns with Vision 2030 and aims to modernize correctional practices. The new framework introduces supervised early release for reformed inmates, supported by partnerships with regional counterparts and local institutions. A continental parole conference will be held next month.
