(PHOTO) The state has built a state-of-the-art prison for 86 million euros: Why is it still almost empty?

The article discusses Slovenia's newest modern prison facility, built at a cost of 86 million euros, which has capacity for up to 388 inmates, including approximately 260 convicts and 128 detainees. Despite its advanced infrastructure, the new prison in Dobrunje remains largely underutilized, while most prisoners continue to be held in the overcrowded and outdated prison on Povšetova. The piece explores reasons behind this situation, such as technical deficiencies still being addressed, staffing shortages within the prison system, and the current state of overcrowding in Slovenian prisons. It also raises questions about the number of foreign nationals incarcerated in Slovenia and the nature of their offenses, as well as the historical criticism of the old Povšetova prison. The article highlights concerns over the effectiveness of the new facility in alleviating the strain on existing prisons.
