The problems inherent in the accomodation and treatment of foreign prisoners and how to solve them

Abstract

Prisoners of foreign nationality have always been an additional issue for the domestic prison service. Both the language and communication difficulties and the differences in the culture of the prisoner pose serious challenges to colleagues who wish to manage them effectively. The prison service has been struggling with maintaining saturation rates for years, to which the rising number of foreign inmates, and the challenges posed by their accommodation and differentiation complicate the issue further. The solution lies in the simplification and rationalization of the transfer procedures, for which the government and the prison service are making serious efforts to make as efficient as possible. The study presents the legal instruments introduced in the previous years and in 2023 through the domestic prison system, both in terms of authorized interruption and reintegration custody.
