New Wing at Central Prisons to Reduce Overcrowding
October 23, 2024
A new wing is set to open in early November at the Central Prisons, accommodating 240 inmates and alleviating overcrowding issues. Justice Minister Marios Harciotis expressed satisfaction with the progress of the renovations, which have dramatically transformed the prison's condition. Additionally, further plans are underway to enhance the penal system, with a new separate wing expected by 2028. The conversion from an open prison to a closed one is part of a broader strategy already in place.
