The administration of Khouribga’s local prison has categorically denied accusations circulating online regarding alleged mistreatment of visitors and mismanagement of inmate provisions. The controversy, sparked by reports claiming that prison officials humiliated visitors and mishandled food supplies, has been dismissed as baseless by prison authorities.
In a clarification released to the public on Friday, the prison administration addressed concerns raised about a special Eid basket delivery initiative, which had been announced by the General Delegation. They assured the public that all procedures during this operation are conducted in accordance with legal standards, ensuring fair treatment for all visitors.
“The verification of the basket contents adheres strictly to existing regulations, focusing particularly on the quality and quantity of meals served to detainees, without any form of discrimination,” emphasized the prison management.
Responding to allegations of inadequate medical care for inmates,
the administration strongly refuted these claims, asserting that all prisoners receive regular medical attention both within the facility and externally as required.
Regarding the issue of overcrowding within the prison, the statement acknowledged it as an external challenge managed diligently by prison authorities, who strive to operate within the facility’s designed capacity.
