Al Arabiya reported that al-Ha'ir holds high-security prisoners on terrorism-related charges and runs a Time Management Program for Detainees (art, gardening, construction) plus more intensive programs using full-time psychologists and religious clerics to counter inmates' radical views.
"The Al Ha’ir prison located west of Riyadh jails high-security prisoners linked to terrorism-related charges. Under the Time Management Program for Detainees, inmates are provided an opportunity to abandon their extremist ideology and instead redirect their focus on self-improvement and talent development. ... A team of full-time psychologists, and even religious clerics, are appointed to counter the inmate’s radical thoughts."
