R.N Macedonia: For the amount of 200 to 500 euros, the prisoners receive mobile phones from the guards
The last action in which mobile phones, knives, drugs, money were seized ... in the prison in Idrizovo, showed the shortcomings of the system, but also the possible involvement of officials in the import of illegal items.
Ombudsman Naser Ziberi revealed at a press conference that in order to bring a convict a mobile phone, prison guards charge 200 to 500 euros, depending on the penitentiary institution. As for whether anyone will answer, Ziberi says that if personal responsibility is established, it will be implemented, but the ombudsman's job is to point out, not to punish.
Regarding the re-socialization, the ombudsman said that it is not at the level and that there is a lack of staff in this area. For detainees, he says that the biggest problem is the time they spend outside, ie only 2 hours, 22 hours in prison.
