Amman – The National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) conducted 27 field monitoring visits between 1 September and 30 October 2026 to correctional and rehabilitation centres and temporary detention facilities across Jordan, as part of its legal mandate and oversight role in monitoring the conditions of inmates in correctional and rehabilitation centers and strengthening safeguards for their rights and human dignity.
The visits covered Irmimin, Juweideh Women’s, Muwaqqar 1 and Muwaqqar 2, Hashemiyah, Swaqa, Marka, Ma’an and Balqa Correctional and Rehabilitation Centres, as well as several other temporary detention facilities.
The visits formed part of the Centre’s regular monitoring activities and included follow-up on certain complaints received by the NCHR. They sought to assess detention conditions, identify matters requiring attention, and monitor measures taken by the relevant authorities to address previously raised concerns.
In this context, the NCHR observed tangible responsiveness to a number of recommendations issued following earlier visits. This underscores the importance of sustained monitoring, follow-up and institutional dialogue in improving detention conditions and strengthening the protection of inmates in correctional and rehabilitation centers.
The NCHR emphasises that these visits constitute an essential component of its mandate to monitor the human rights situation in Jordan and provide recommendations aimed at improving detention conditions and ensuring humane treatment in accordance with relevant national legislation and international human rights standards.
The Centre will continue its monitoring visits and follow-up activities in pursuit of its commitment to protecting human rights, upholding the rule of law and safeguarding the dignity of all persons, including those in correctional and rehabilitation centers.
