Albanian Helsinki Committee starts a one year
project “For a more professional prison staff
and civilised managed institutions in Albanian
prison system”
30.07.2010
Prisons are a very important public service related to
the security, protection of the society and
re-integration into the society of the persons under
their care after their release. They should always be
governed by civilian employees, appointed by a
transparent and competitive procedure, responsible for
the execution of the penal sentences, guarding the
balance between the security rules and respect for
fundamental rights and freedom of the prisoners.
