With an open letter addressed to the justice institutions, 330 convicts of the Rrogozhina prison remind the legislators that “they have forgotten the poor in prisons”.

They refer to themselves as convicted for a second time, since the amnesty bill is holding them hostage, as the convicts who have been found guilty by the Special Court of the GJKKO, they claim this category is ‘privileged’ and not even are locked in the same cells as them.

“Persons who are sentenced by GJKKO do not manage to come to the institutions where we are kept, because the court gives alternative punishments for these people”, accuse the prisoners of Rrogozhina in their letter.

The data of the General Directorate of Prisons show that in this prison the prisoners are charged of theft, injury and also for cultivation of cannabis.

“We, the prisoners of the Rrogozhina Prison, are addressing you with this open letter, regarding the deadlock created for the criminal amnesty. There are 330 people convicted by the courts with a final decision and they are serving their sentence in this institution, but the only one person in this institution, convicted by the GJKKO for corruption, he leaves on April 4, 2024”, the letter states.

“The reason for this open letter is the stalemate of the Criminal Amnesty, which has been promised to us 2 years ago by all factors, to us and our families, and we think that it is being unfairly denied to us for political interests. Please sit down and find a common language and vote for this act of humanity, which has been missing for 4 years”, the letter of the prisoners of Rrogozhina prison reads.
