The Fijian Cabinet has officially given the green light for setting up a Drug Rehabilitation Centre within the Fiji Corrections Service (FCS). This important decision was made during the Cabinet’s first meeting of the year, held in Suva.
The new Centre aims to offer focused interventions aimed at helping convicted drug offenders. Its primary goal is to provide these individuals with a chance to reform and successfully reintegrate into society. The rehabilitation programs that will be implemented in the Centre will adhere to the standards established by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services.
This initiative represents a significant step towards addressing drug-related issues within the justice system and underscores the importance of rehabilitation over punishment. By equipping offenders with the necessary tools for recovery and societal reintegration, it not only aims to reduce recidivism but also contributes to the overall safety and well-being of the community.
In summary, the establishment of the Drug Rehabilitation Centre within the Fiji Corrections Service is a progressive move that reflects a commitment to fostering rehabilitation and improving public health and safety.
