ZPCS to Launch First Ever Prison Radio Station
The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) is set to break new ground with the establishment of a radio station at Chikurubi Maximum Prison, a pioneering development in the history of the country’s correctional services.
The initiative, the first of its kind in Zimbabwe, is expected to transform communication and rehabilitation within the prison system. It will serve as a platform for education, skills development, and reintegration awareness for inmates.
Although finer details of the project are yet to be revealed, the station is believed to be part of ZPCS’s ongoing efforts to modernise correctional facilities and strengthen rehabilitation programmes through innovative media engagement.
The move aligns with global correctional trends where inmate run or prison based radio stations have been used to promote positive behavioural change, boost morale, and improve transparency between prisons and the public.
ZPCS officials are expected to officially launch the radio station at Chikurubi in the coming days.
