In order to diversify the ways prisoners could study, DGAPR implemented an e-learning program supported by the United Nations.
To do so, DGAPR equipped prisons in Tifelt 2, Khenifra, L’oudaya in Marrakech, Toulal 2 in Meknes, and Ain Sebaa 1 in Casablanca with the necessary material.

The program is intended to better integrate prisoners into the labor market.
