Welcome to the official website of Uganda Prisons Service (UPS).
This platform is part of our commitment to enhancing communication, transparency, and seamless flow of information with all our stakeholders.
Uganda Prisons Service is mandated to provide safe, secure custody, humane treatment, rehabilitation, and reintegration of offenders. We work diligently to ensure that each inmate entrusted to our care is equipped with skills, discipline, and opportunities for personal growth, enabling them to successfully reintegrate into society and contribute positively upon their release
Over the years, UPS has made significant progress in advancing our mandate through strategic reforms and innovative programs aimed at fostering rehabilitation and improving prison conditions. Our initiatives in education, vocational training, health, and infrastructure development are just a few of the efforts undertaken to ensure a dignified environment for inmates, align with human rights standards, and support national development.
To achieve this mission, we have strengthened collaboration with a diverse range of stakeholders, including other government agencies, development partners, civil society, the private sector, media, and the public. These partnerships have been instrumental in our work to improve service delivery, raise public awareness about the role of UPS, and foster active community involvement in rehabilitation and reintegration programs.
Looking ahead, UPS remains dedicated to pursuing reforms that will enhance our institutional capacity, ensure the welfare and professionalism of our staff, and create a rehabilitative environment that prepares inmates for meaningful reintegration. We will continue to prioritize transparency, efficiency, and adherence to national and international standards of correctional service.
I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our work, achievements, and ongoing initiatives.
