Prisons in Albania

Communist era prison in Gjirokastër

Like in other countries, prisoners in Albania are separated into remanded prisoners (in pre-trial detention) and convicted prisoners (whose sentences are being executed). The basic three types of prisons are closed, semi-open, and open prisons. A difference is made between ordinary closed prisons and high security prisons. Many prisons have separate blocks (wings) for women and children (juveniles), while others keep women and children together. Prisoners themselves are allowed to elect a council of reeducation, which is used to enforce laws
