A new wing of a closed prison will cost €29.5 million and aims to reduce overcrowding in the Central Prisons. The hiring of 218 new prison guards will be needed to support the new facility. The project has been approved by the Council of Ministers and is expected to be completed by 2028. This decision is based on a feasibility study that shows it is the best solution for the current prison situation.
