Morocco’s General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration announced the permanent closure of the Ain Borja local prison in Casablanca after a technical report found the facility’s structure to be severely deteriorated and unsafe for inmates, staff, and visitors.
In a statement issued Friday, the delegation said the prison was completely evacuated on Oct. 24, 2025, with inmates transferred to other correctional facilities across the country. The transfers, it added, were carried out according to criteria that took into account prisoners’ social situations and the available capacity of receiving institutions.
The authority said the decision reflects its commitment to ensuring safe and humane detention conditions, in line with efforts to modernize and upgrade the infrastructure of Morocco’s prison system to meet national and international safety standards.
