The Mbour Detention and Correctional Center (MAC) organized the traditional wrestling final on January 29, 2026, as part of its social reintegration activities. This sporting and cultural event brought together inmates, prison staff, local authorities, and partners in a moment of exceptional unity.

This traditional wrestling final is part of the social reintegration programs implemented at the Mbour prison. The activity was organized by the prison's socio-educational service, which is increasing its initiatives to prepare inmates for their return to society.

The event benefited from strong support from local authorities and prominent figures in the wrestling world. Prefect Amadou Diop honored the final with his presence.

The undisputed star of the day was undoubtedly Bombardier, the wrestling champion. His presence at the Mbour prison was a considerable source of motivation for the inmate wrestlers and gave a special flair to the event.

A delegation representing the Mayor of Saly also took part in this event, according to a statement from the communications division of the Directorate of Penitentiary Administration.

Beyond the authorities, the wrestling final drew a diverse crowd. Defense and security forces were present to oversee the event and ensure its smooth running under optimal security conditions.

The families of the prisoners were able to witness the fighting, thus offering a moment of emotion and pride to their incarcerated loved ones.

The partners of the prison administration, who contribute daily to rehabilitation programs, were also present. Members of the National Management Committee (CNG) of Mbour participated in this event.

This traditional wrestling final transcended the simple sporting context to become a genuine moment of sharing and communion. Inmates and prison staff were able to interact in a setting different from their daily prison life.

The event provided an opportunity to showcase another facet of life in detention, focused on rehabilitation, sport and culture rather than solely on the punitive dimension of confinement.

This initiative reflects a modern vision of the Senegalese prison administration, which places social reintegration at the heart of its mission. According to the document reviewed by Seneweb, sporting and cultural activities are essential tools for preparing inmates for their return to society.
