The interrogation cell installed at the Rasų Street Prison in Vilnius will be able to imprison 177 people at a time. euros. Another 8 million. It is planned to invest one billion euros in the renovation of approximately one thousand places of detention in all Lithuanian prisons.
“Here, people will be able to avoid piling up like dollar herrings, as is still done in some prisons,” Justice Minister Elvinas Jankevičius said, showing the new premises.
According to him, the modernization of prisons is gradually abandoning large dormitory-type living spaces, where dozens or even dozens of people are serving their sentences, thus improving the working conditions of officials.
“In the prison system, we seek to create dignified, social and domestic conditions for prisoners and abandon the inheritance of the past,” according to E. Jankevičius, perpetrators are encouraged to change their behavior, prepare for a new life in freedom and are not less important in this process. and the environment in which prisoners serve their sentences.
After the reconstruction of the Vilnius correctional facility building, the dormitory-type facilities were transformed into chamber-type premises, now a person will have approximately 5 square meters M. m of area, although the law establishes only 3.6 m2. meter.
All rooms are equipped with a modern recuperative ventilation system, security, and smoke extraction and fire alarm systems. To enable inmates to read and work in natural light, the cells are equipped with daytime and nighttime lighting, and the cells in the cells are adapted for ventilation. In addition, all cameras are equipped with call and talk systems that provide immediate contact with staff.
At the time, Viktoras Davidenka, the director of the Vilnius Correctional Institution, which previously ran Lukiškės Prison, believes that the renewal of the detention conditions will prevent detainees from complaining to the courts about alleged wrongful detention. A particularly high number of complaints were made about the lack of privacy in the use of healthcare networks. It is true that, for the moment, they will not be able to use the shower on a daily basis, since the law does not provide that possibility.
Virginijus Kulikauskas, director of the Department of Prisons, said that it was planned to invest not only in prison conditions, but also in the infrastructure of correctional facilities, because at least the events of recent years when prisoners are fleeing correctional facilities reveal that the area is not properly protected.
“It is regrettable that for some 20 years this system has not received as much financial attention as it needed,” said V. Kulikauskas. – This year, the funds allocated by the Government in the economic recovery project are also focused on improving the infrastructure – to ensure the replacement and improvement of engineering accounting tools. We really need to update. “
According to him, it is also necessary to update the video surveillance system, because the latest escape case of a prisoner at the Prisoniškės Penitentiary Hospital showed that this system was not working enough. “Therefore, there will also be changes in this place,” said V. Kulikauskas.
