Kyriazidis: Soon a solution to the problem of overcrowding in Komotini Penitentiary

At the end of November, the problem of overcrowding in the Komotini Penitentiary will have been largely remedied. This was emphasized by the member of parliament of ND Drama Vassilis Kyriazidis, speaking to ERT, admitting the bad conditions in the said store and the delays that occurred for the completion of the Penitentiary in Nikiforos of Drama.

It is worth noting that the new building has a storage capacity of 600 prisoners, while now just over 100 people are held in perfect conditions for their imprisonment. It will begin to partially fill its wards, decongesting the Komotini Penitentiary and more. According to Mr. Kyriazidis, the only thing pending is the placement of the catering contractor.

For his part, speaking to ERT, the chief warden of Komotini Prisons, Antonis Papadopoulos, appears very modestly optimistic. "By Friday we will have reached 300 prisoners in Komotini as the accused are coming to be tried. The conditions are more than miserable both for the prisoners and for us. We have reached the number of 420 prisoners and in a space of 35 square meters I have 54 prisoners. End of tolerance, the final solution must come..." Mr. Papadopoulos stressed.

However, he added that in a teleconference he had with the Secretary of Anti-Criminal Policy Aristos Perris, the latter assured him that the solution to the problem will begin immediately within the current month.
