The government also offers training to prisoners and employment opportunities for them when they complete their sentences.
The correctional facilities in the UAE observe human rights and serve as rehabilitation facilities. The UAE implements the Standard Minimum Rules for the treatment of prisoners (SMR) in punitive and correctional institutions nationwide.
The facilities are subject to random visits from human rights' departments and public prosecutors. They inspect every part of the prison and have private interviews with the inmates. Convicts are segregated according to their crimes.

Rehabilitation forms a key element of the correctional strategy in the UAE. The government offers work readiness programme for UAE national inmates. The programme is operated by Higher Colleges of Technology, available to inmates who have only a year or two remaining of their sentence. The programme offers training to prisoners and employment opportunities for them when they complete their sentences.
