Egypt's Agricultural Prison
Like many countries throughout the world, Egypt is looking for innovative ways of rehabilitating offenders. With funds from the UNDP for expert advice, barren desert near Cairo is being developed as a productive prison farm, housing several hundred minor offenders. Such a farm can provide Egypt with much needed food and teach prisoners skills such as drip irrigation, which they can apply when they return to society.
