This secondary research-based article examines the rationale, and significance of Criminon, a program offered in prisons worldwide, including Karachi Central Prison. Information was gathered from newspaper reports, articles, and websites to investigate Criminon program, its mission, objectives, courses, and services. It also examines Criminon success rate globally and in Karachi Central Prison. The findings revealed that Criminon is modernizing the archaic prison system in Karachi by rehabilitating offenders. Criminon education can rehabilitate and ultimately reintegrate even violent and habitual offenders, and many offenders are motivated to change in prison. In Karachi Central Prison, the Criminon is demonstrating positive results in altering the mentality of offenders, which can aid in reducing criminality, recidivism, and prison overcrowding. The research concluded that implementing Criminon to rehabilitate inmates would be beneficial for Pakistan and therefore recommends that it be implemented in all Pakistani prison administrations.
