Amman, Aug. 11 (Petra) -- The Public Security Directorate (PSD) has introduced an electronic money transfer service for inmates at correctional and rehabilitation centers, enabling families to send funds remotely without having to visit the facilities.

Launched in cooperation with Jordan Post and Alawneh Exchange, the service allows inmates' families to transfer up to JD100 per week electronically under approved procedures and regulations.

Jordan Post and Alawneh Exchange will process the transfers on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week, with the funds subsequently transferred to the relevant correctional and rehabilitation centers.

The PSD said direct deposits at correctional centers will remain available, giving families the option to continue using the existing payment method.

The service is part of the directorate's broader digital transformation drive aimed at simplifying procedures, reducing transaction times and improving the efficiency and accessibility of services provided to inmates and their families.

The PSD said the initiative also supports efforts to modernize operations within correctional and rehabilitation centers by introducing digital solutions designed to improve the speed and accuracy of transactions.
