Number of cases of drug seizure in prisons in Morocco 2016-2020
In 2020, 773 cases of illegal drug seizures were reported in Moroccan prisons. This was a significant decrease compared to the previous years observed. According to the source, this was largely due to the suspension of visits at the correctional facilities during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which also confirmed that visitations are major sources of drug introduction into these facilities. Overall, as of 2018, there were nearly 83.8 thousand prisoners in Morocco.
