September 6, 2024
The new wing of the closed prison is expected to cost around €29.5 million and aims to alleviate overcrowding in Central Prisons. The Ministry of Justice has received approval for the construction, which is expected to be completed by 2028, and will require hiring 218 new prison guards. A feasibility study showed that building the new wing is the best solution for improving infrastructures and ensuring working conditions. The project is expected to start in 2025.
