Promoting dignified life has also remained an important goal. As such, the prisoners have the right to education, entertainment, health services, religious practice, sport and culture, awareness raising seminars and capacity building programs. To this aim, the system now runs a network of clinics, academic and vocational programmes, sport, culture, and other facilities. The awareness raising programme in particular focuses on HIV/AIDS, major diseases like Hepatitis, TB, etc, Eritrean National Codes, women equality, national development, work habits and culture, the causes and effects of psychological stress and other topics of importance. Continuous sensitization and advocacy on HIV Aids and TB is also given in all prisons. This is done by regional hospitals but all prison clinics also have HIV Counseling centers. Furthermore, the quarterly magazine of the Prisons and Correctional Services Center also serves as a source for discussion among inmates. 80. The right of inmates to unrestricted religious belief and practice in accordance with Article 2 (2-9) of the Prisons Services Regulations has been implemented. Prisoners continue to pray, fast and observe other rites that are observed in their respective religion and belief.

Major prison centers also have their own health facilities that are equipped with basic laboratories. Serious cases are referred to national health facilities.

All prisons have academic programmes and since 1997 inmates used to participate in the university entrance examination but were discontinued for technical reasons in 2002. The prison service in consultation with the Ministry of Education has now sorted out the problem and inmates are participating again since 2012. Furthermore, an agreement has recently been reached with the National Higher Education Board so that inmates who achieve passing marks in Secondary School Leaving Examination are able to continue their studies in higher learning institutions. 83. Various cultural and sport activities take place in all centers.
