And with the capacities held by the institutions today, society pays 160 thousand euros per day or 59 million euros per year.

"An incarcerated person costs a lot to society and does not necessarily give back the security that we achieve by locking him up within the penitentiary system. Albania has an alarming number of people sentenced to life imprisonment per 100,000 inhabitants, and one of the last recommendations is to find methods and create opportunities for these people to be rehabilitated", said Ballanca. /Euronews Albania
