About
The Prisons Service of Tanzania (Jeshi la Magereza Tanzania) is the national correctional institution, operating under the Ministry of Home Affairs and established originally on August 25, 1931, when it separated from colonial-era policing roles. Its modern mandate is to safeguard communities by administering safe custody, rehabilitation, and reintegration of offenders within a legally compliant framework.
