Meanwhile, Dubai's prison system has come under the spotlight, with reports of a notorious prison nicknamed 'Dubai Alcatraz' making headlines. The prison, known for its harsh conditions, is said to be home to several high-profile inmates, including alleged crime boss Kinahan, who is reportedly set to have his head shaved as part of the prison's strict rules.

The 'Dubai Alcatraz' prison has been described as a 'hellhole' by some, with violent conditions and strict regulations. The prison's reputation has raised questions about the treatment of inmates and the overall state of Dubai's justice system.
