Today, Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze got acquainted with the operation of the electronic booking system in the №8 penitentiary institution together with Chairperson of the Bar Association, Davit Asatiani.

The online booking portal will provide lawyers with more comfort and opportunity to schedule their meeting calendar. Effective use of the portal unloads the so-called “live queue” as well.

The pre-booking electronic portal was implemented by the Bar Association in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice of Georgia and the Special Penitentiary Service with the financial support of the United States Embassy. At this stage, the portal operates in #8 penitentiary institution in pilot mode.

The address of the pre-booking electronic portal is: https://penitentiary.gba.ge ; In addition, the hotline can be reached at: 511 10 30 97.
