Dozens of prisoners are to be freed after Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid, Ruler of Ajman, pardoned the inmates to mark the start of Ramadan.
Fifty eight prisoners of different nationalities will be released for showing good conduct while serving their jail terms, according to the state news agency WAM.
Those convicted of deportation are to be sent back to their home countries.
Brigadier Ali Alwan, director of Ajman Police, said Sheikh Humaid's pardon underlines his care to grant those pardoned inmates an opportunity to be good citizens and reunite with their families.
"Measures to release the pardoned prisoners will be initiated immediately," he added.
The move comes after nearly 600 prisoners in Dubai were pardoned earlier this week by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Earlier this month, the release of 84 prisoners was ordered by Sheikh Saud bin Saqr, the Crown Prince of Ras al Khaimah.
Amnesties are often granted during Ramadan.

Tips for newlyweds to better manage finances
All couples are unique and have to create a financial blueprint that is most suitable for their relationship, says Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer at Century Financial. He offers his top five tips for couples to better manage their finances.
Discuss your assets and debts: When married, it’s important to understand each other’s personal financial situation. It’s necessary to know upfront what each party brings to the table, as debts and assets affect spending habits and joint loan qualifications. Discussing all aspects of their finances as a couple prevents anyone from being blindsided later.
Decide on the financial/saving goals: Spouses should independently list their top goals and share their lists with one another to shape a joint plan. Writing down clear goals will help them determine how much to save each month, how much to put aside for short-term goals, and how they will reach their long-term financial goals.
Set a budget: A budget can keep the couple be mindful of their income and expenses. With a monthly budget, couples will know exactly how much they can spend in a category each month, how much they have to work with and what spending areas need to be evaluated.
Decide who manages what: When it comes to handling finances, it’s a good idea to decide who manages what. For example, one person might take on the day-to-day bills, while the other tackles long-term investments and retirement plans.
Money date nights: Talking about money should be a healthy, ongoing conversation and couples should not wait for something to go wrong. They should set time aside every month to talk about future financial decisions and see the progress they’ve made together towards accomplishing their goals.
