Custodial Introduction

In providing contemporary and world leading justice services to the UAE, paramount in the Sinyar
approach must be operating a system that is safe for all Staff, Prisoners, Juveniles, Detainees Visitors,
and the broader community.
Equally, there will be no compromise on the security of the facilities in any aspect of operational
delivery proposal in line with the existing and future design progression.
A critical aspect of the design presented at this stage is the capacity to enable and ensure the proposed
high standards for safety and security are able to be fully met in the initial takeover of Police
facilities.

Our Operating Philosophy

We believe that, for prisoners, juveniles and detainees in Abu Dhabi, we can support the use of a period of incarceration
as an ideal opportunity to positively influence and change behaviour. This Operating Philosophy will underpin the
delivery of all services in Abu Dhabi by ensuring the observance of the Standard Minimum Rules for the treatment of
prisoners (SMR) in punitive and correctional institutions nationwide.

Individuals within our custody will receive their full rights in regard to rehabilitation, medical care, nutrition,
communicating with their families and access to their legal representatives. This framework of decency and safety
will underpin our model of rehabilitation.

Our firm belief is that prison should be a place where people are provided the support and structure they require to
address and subsequently reduce their reoffending. This in turn provides government and communities with confidence
in their correctional systems.

Prisoner Structured and Purposeful Day

Central to our Responsible Prisoner and Pathway Models is the Structured and Purposeful
Day. We believe that prisoners achieve the best rehabilitative outcomes when their time in
custody is used positively and productively. Our approach focuses on engaging prisoners in
purposeful activities during their time in custody, helping them to develop the skills and
behaviours they require upon release, contributing to improved reintegration outcomes.

The provision of a 10 hours out of cell Purposeful Day engages the Prisoner and encourages his
interaction with staff. This is a central element of our approach, and an absolute pre-requisite if
the Prisoner is to demonstrate his responsibility. Our opportunities are sufficiently diverse to
enable him to be engaged, stimulated, to offer support to assist him to address his offending
behaviour, and prepare for a return to the community as a law-abiding member of society.

Prison Security

We recognise and accept our responsibility as the contract provider to hold on behalf of the
Government those committed by Courts to secure custody. We are committed to operating a safe
and secure facility where Prisoners can undertake education, employment and rehabilitation
activities within a controlled environment. Sinyar’s security management approach is premised
on the following tried and tested principles:

 Physical security:
including the secure perimeter, internal
barriers, keys and locks, radios, restraints to
achieve the outcome
a key aspect to our operational model and to
effectively and appropriately challenge
antisocial, criminal attitudes as they are
individually evidenced within the Prisoner
population.
Dynamic security will be an integral element
of prisoner management, interventions and
programs, and to achieving successful
Prisoner rehabilitation and reintegration
planning
correctional disciplines.
We understand that this is fundamentally
achieved by adherence to the
Government/Department’s Policies and
Procedures and Operational Service
Requirements as well as Sinyar ensuring
local practices are managed and documented
through such things as training tools and
aids, post orders and local action plans.

Staff Profiles
Every staff member will have a role and a formal
responsibility to play in maintaining safety and security. Staff
will be informed of their duty and obligation to report, by a
Security Information Report (SIR) to the intelligence team,
line manager and/or a senior manager, any concern or
suspicious behaviour.
Staff will be expected to immediately respond to all evidence
of a breach of Prison rules. The adjacent Custody and
Containment Table sets out the responsibilities for the staff
with primary safety and security responsibilities in any

Prison Intelligence
Prison Intelligence
Sinyar will provide operational and strategic intelligence that will be used to identify
risks, form predictive analysis, and inform decision making. We will facilitate the
collection, analysis, and dissemination of timely intelligence, in line an Intelligence
Collection Plan and the Abu Dhabi Police Corrections Department’s intelligence
requirements.

Police facilities provides an important information role to the Abu Dhabi Police
Corrections Department and the wider Prisons network. Our Intelligence Team will
combat illegal or criminal activities within the Prison, identify threats and systemic
issues which can undermine the good order of any facility and the wider prison estate.

Through effective collection, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence, Sinyar will

mitigate and manage a safe and secure correctional environment by:
 identifying indicators of negative and unacceptable behaviours
 providing early warning of unacceptable activity, contraband and drugs
 identifying Prisoners who pose a prominent or developing threat to the Prison
 allowing for the management and informed control of issues
 identifying minor issues, which may lead to major outcomes, to be managed or
prevented.

Management of Illicit Substances
Sinyar recognises that there is an absolute responsibility incumbent on any service provider operating a prison on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Police to meet expectations in relation to the
maintenance of a safe and well-ordered environment that cares for Prisoners by preventing illicit substances from entering the Prison.

It is our belief that to succeed in this area will take a multi-disciplinary approach requiring a co-ordinated response from our security staff, Intelligence team, Custodial Officers, specialist
intervention team and Health Services team.

The measures we propose to use to deter, detect, prevent and treat the trafficking of illicit substances will be as follows:

 a search plan as a key part of the strategy aimed at deterring, detecting and preventing the trafficking of illicit substances

 the use of appropriate technology such as the ION Spectrometer to deter, detect and prevent trafficking

 the pro-active use of intelligence

 utilising the Sinyar Canine Detection Team to make best use of their dogs when searching dormitories/cells as well as other areas of the Prison, and passive dogs to detect and
deter both Visitors and staff

 publicise a drugs helpline which will be a free number displayed prominently and made available to Prisoners and their Visitors in the Prisoners Handbook and Visitor
information leaflets. This will act as an advice line or a point of contact if someone was being pressurised to bring drugs into the Prison and wanted to make the authorities
aware of their predicament in a totally confidential way, which would not attract attention to them

 through meetings with the Prisoners (via the PIAC) we will make clear that drug trafficking will not be tolerated and what the consequences of being involved in activity of this
kind would be (e.g., police charge for the Visitor and a ban from the Prison, closed visits for the Prisoner, and the Prisoner’s security status/supervision level being reviewed).

Education/Vocational Training/Prisoner Industries
Abu Dhabi Police place the utmost importance within
their Prisons on rehabilitation, successful reintegration
back into the community, and reduced reoffending and
recidivism. Education, vocational training, and
employment are key components of their Rehabilitative
Strategy.
Abu Dhabi Justice | Sinyar Enterprises
enhanced rehabilitative outcomes by providing
prisoners with a wide and varied range of education and
vocational training offerings supported by employment
opportunities where newly acquired skills can be
practised and further developed.
Management Buildings in conjunction with our
Purposeful Day to deliver a full suite of education and
training programs that align to business and industry
need to ensure prisoners upon release have the best
possible chance of leading improved lives.
Rehabilitative and Specialist Intervention Programmes

Sinyar believes that an effective prison operator must be informed by recent local and global
best practice, especially in Rehabilitation and Reintegration. For decades, we have
demonstrated our commitment to this within Australian, United Kingdom, and New Zealand
Justice operations, supported by our global Justice Centre of Excellence. Over the last ten
years, Sinyar has invested significant resources in trialling evidence-based interventions for
Prisoners in our care.

These have ranged from testing animal-assisted therapy in a Queensland prison, to the design
and implementation of a vulnerability prediction tool to combat self-harm in the United
Kingdom.

Further, a commercially sustainable approach to research has been established through the
global think-tank, Serco Institute, and its charitable arm, Serco Foundation. They ensure pilot
initiatives run by our Justice contracts are evaluated, and if proven to positively impact the
Prisoner, scaled up for operational use and promoted to the industry. This process is how both
the Queensland and United Kingdom initiatives mentioned above have been evaluated and
are now being implemented in other contracts.

Faith/Religion
Recognising Islam is both the official and majority
religion in the United Arab Emirates, each Dormitory
Building has a dedicated Prayer Room. It is anticipated
based on proposed unlock timings that Fajr Salah will
be observed in Dormitory Rooms, Dhuhr Salah and Asr
Salah within the Prayer Room, and Maghrib Salah and
Isha Salah within Dormitory Rooms.
We note that the experience of imprisonment can lead
to many Prisoners re-connecting with their faith, or
developing an interest in the spiritual and religious,
and as such the facilities for such expressions within a
Prison have a unique status and value. We believe that
additional value to the Prisoners is provided by the
unstructured counselling that practitioners of faith can
provide, especially in time of stress.
Abu Dhabi Justice | Sinyar Enterprises
the faith practitioner, can be of great benefit. Sinyar
will ensure that the independence of practitioners is
maintained.
We understand that Islam provides a critically
important pathway for the Prisoner’s rehabilitation. We
will actively encourage and facilitate faith observance
and study so that the benefits of Islam can be realised
for the Prisoner.
The United Arab Emirates provides freedom of
religion. We will maintain equality of access and
We note such observance is a recognised fundamental
human right. If it is not appropriate for other faiths to
use the dedicated Prayer Rooms in each Dormitory, we
will seek to utilise the Multi-purpose Rooms within the
Unit Management Buildings flexibly at different times
for small group faith observance.
We will arrange for pastoral and religious/spiritual
observance services and meet the needs of Prisoners in
these regards. We will respect and facilitate individual
and corporate worship where necessary through the
provision of equipment, locations, and
religious/spiritual requisites.
