Yesterday, the President of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Ranko Debevec and the Chief Prosecutor of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH Milanko Kajganic were on an official visit to the construction site of the Satajevo Penitentiary on Igman, where the final works of the last phase of the construction of the largest detention unit in BiH and the surrounding area are underway.
On that occasion, they visited the central detention facility, as well as the facility that forms an integral part of the complex under the designation “B”.
Modern system of detention infrastructure
Given that the complex was financed by the European Union (EU) Delegation, on this occasion the management of the Penitentiary presented in detail a very modern detention infrastructure system that will completely avoid all the previous shortcomings of detention units, not only in the territory of the Federation of BiH (FBiH), but also in the whole of BiH.
In particular, each floor of this facility has a separate walkway and accompanying infrastructure, so that any contact of detained persons who are suspected of the same criminal offense for which they were detained is completely excluded.
The missing capacities will be completely solved
In this way, the missing capacities for the detention of the Municipal and Cantonal Courts of Sarajevo, but also of the Court of BiH, will be fully resolved, where a special segment is focused on detention for women.
After visiting the complex, Debevec and Kajganic expressed their impressions of the facility’s infrastructure and praised Sarajevo Penitentiary and Director Faruk Zubcevic, and FBiH Minister of Justice Mato Jozic for the activities carried out, taking into account the fact that they were carried out for a period of slightly more than two years, and that EU IPA fundswere used for construction, Avaz reports.
