Prison Improvement Works to be Completed in 3-6 Months

The Minister of Justice and Public Order, Kostas Fytiris, announced that improvement works at the Prisons will be completed within 3-6 months, to ensure smooth operation and improved living conditions for inmates until their relocation to new facilities. The decision to expand the existing Prisons has been cancelled, as a suitable site for the construction of new ones has already been found. The works include the renovation of medical facilities, the creation of a new entrance for staff, the construction of a clothing store and a medical facility in the Open Prisons, as well as the installation of a mobile phone jamming system. In addition, the procurement and utilization of an electronic monitoring system have been initiated for the potential conditional release of prisoners.
