Request for closure of Dubrava's Pre-prison ward

At this centre it is said that there are approximately 35 to 40 detainees who cause many problems to this correctional institution, both during frequent escorts to court hearings and during delivery to regional hospitals and KKUKUK.

KMDLNj has also had remarks on the prison health service, which they claim despite continued efforts, never because of objective or subjectives, has managed to meet the demands and needs of persons deprived of freedom for a health treatment that is provided with international standards.

According to Florent Gashi from the General Directorate of Kosovo Correcting Services, currently the Dubrava detention ward meets the conditions for the management of detained persons.

“The SKK, the upper ward, uses it only in cases when there is not enough space in other wards. With capacity increased at detention centres in Gjilan and Pristina, the ward in question will be designated for other categories of prisoners”, Gashi said.

And from the Ministry of Health have stated that KMDLNJ has had remarks about the absence of the Prison Hospital and difficulties in dealing with some difficult manageable cases.

Even the same denied that KMDLNJ has stated that for objective causes or subjects it has not been achieved to meet the demands and needs of persons deprived of the freedom of health treatment that is provided with international standards.

The Ministry of Health, through the Health Department of Prisons and Prison Health Units, offers health services equivalent to that of the public sector. All services that can't be performed in these entities refer to general hospitals and the SKKUK for specific treatment.
