Penitentiary institution of the highest European standards Opens in Georgia
Laituri Penitentiary No. 1 is undergoing final interior design works. Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze, Deputy Minister, Erekle Gvinianidze and Head of the Special Penitentiary Service, Nika Tshvarashvili got acquainted today with the working process on the spot.
Laituri prison is a small penitentiary and is designed for about 700 prisoners.
Ensuring the highest standards of human rights protection and the living conditions of convicts/accused in Georgia, as well as constant care for the working environment of the employees of the Special Penitentiary Service, is one of the main priorities of the Ministry of Justice. The new Laituri penitentiary also serves this purpose. It is fully tailored to the needs of both accused/convicts and facility staff.
Laituri Penitentiary will be opened this year, where 500 people will be employed, including local residents.
