The Albanian state spends 80 million euros a year to keep the Hallexjis in prison
The Albanian state spends a total of 80 million euros to keep only the Hallexjis in prison.
"Fiks Fare" secured documents from the General Directorate of Prisons and talked with the People's Advocate and the Director of the Albanian Committee of Helsinki about the costs and conditions of keeping people who commit criminal offenses in cells.
A letter signed by 145 prisoners in Peqin, who are asking for help to make their voices heard, arrived at the editorial office of the investigative show. They ask for amnesty, as they claim that only the VIPs should not be released. Most of the people who have signed are detained and not convicted!
"We have many problems in delivering court decisions. We are convicted and in the trial process. We are being investigated and tried under a Penal Code that does not define punishment measures. The law provides the same penalties as for a consumer of a hashish cigarette and the same penalty for the one who produces and sells several tons of the drug. About 65% of us are in custody for Article 283, selling narcotics. Having faith in your humanity and good will, we ask you that the amnesty be at least 2 years general" affirm the prisoners.
Their request comes at a time when the Minister of Justice, Ulsi Manja, has sent to the Parliament a draft for criminal amnesty, which benefits 4 categories. From the calculations so far, according to Manja, "700 convicted persons and 2500 persons on probation benefit". The minister said a few weeks ago that there are "2,500 people detained more than EU standards". "Amnesty at this moment, in addition to other principles, will also serve us to create an opportunity for a proper system," he asserted.
More detained than convicted
But how much is spent to keep a convict/detainee in a cell?! Currently, there are more detainees than convicts in Albanian prisons! Out of about 5,800 prisoners, 2,292 are convicted and 3,087 are in pre-trial detention. There are also 460 people with medical measures. Meanwhile, the daily cost of a prisoner is 3,759 ALL! "There are also 460 people who are medically disabled. It is those who are disabled who have mental health problems. It is a high figure, from the high years and it has been increasing. Today we have an overpopulation of 150 people in total," said Erinda Ballanca, Ombudsman. Meanwhile, a total of 4,594 people work in the prison system, who keep 5,800 people deprived of their freedom in isolation.
Fiks Fare siguroi të dhëna zyrtare për buxhetin vjetor të Drejtorisë së Përgjithshme të Burgjeve, duke llogaritur pagat e punonjësve, mirëmbajtjen e institucioneve të vuajtjes së dënimit, naftën, riparimet, tenderët e ushqimeve, kamerave etj. Në total, në një vit, burgjet shpenzojnë gjithsej 8 miliardë lekë, ose rreth 80 milionë euro. “Vetëm për shpenzimet e personelit, paga dhe sigurime, harxhohen 5,5 miliardë lekë, ose 69 % e vlerës totale të buxhetit” thuhet në përgjigjen e Drejtorisë së Përgjithshme të Burgjeve, drejtuar Fiks Fare.
Avokatja e Popullit thotë se shifra është akoma më e lartë në buxhetin e shtetit, pasi ka qindra të burgosur që marrin pafajësi. “Nëse të tëra paratë që ne shpenzojmë për këta të paraburgosur, që është një shifër jo e ulët, do të çoheshin në projekte sociale, ndoshta s’do të kishim një numër kaq të madh të personave që janë të kriminalizuar. Shifra që ne harxhojmë për një person të dënuar për të mbajtur në burg është gati 15 fishi i asaj që i japim një familjeje të tërë në nevojë” pohon ajo.
Gati çdo muaj, Drejtoria e Burgjeve shpall tendera me vlerë disa miliona euro për blerje ushqimesh, veshjesh apo edhe për sistemet e sigurisë. Disa nga këto procedura janë hetuar edhe nga organet ligjzbatuese, ku në pranga kanë rënë disa drejtues të burgjeve. Madje, një nga procedurat e dyshimta ishte edhe tenderi i mirëmbajtjes së sistemit të sigurisë në vitin 2023, me vlerë 6 milionë euro. Ngjarjet e mëvonshme, ku një i dënuar vrau po një të dënuar në Peqin, treguan se ky sistem nuk funksiononte.
Shkaktarët e burgosjes masive, Vetingu dhe reforma në drejtësi
Fiks Fare bisedoi me Avokaten e Popullit, Erinda Ballanca, duke e pyetur se si ka mundësi që ka më shumë të paraburgosur sesa të dënuar. “Shqipëria ka një numër të lartë të të burgosurish por edhe të paraburgosurish që është e treta në Këshillin e Europës për numrin më të lartë të vendeve. Dhe vjen pas vetëm pas Turqisë dhe Azerbajxhanit. Mendoj se ka ardhur për shkak të politikës penale, s’ka qenë e duhura dhe vazhdon të jetë e tillë. Rregulli duhet të jetë që burgosesh kur ke një vendim të formës së prerë” thotë ajo, teksa më tej sqaron se një nga faktorët ka qenë edhe reforma në drejtësi.
“Problematikë që ka sjellë këtë situatë është edhe reforma në drejtësi, sot kemi gjysmën e kapaciteteve të prokurorëve dhe gjyqtarëve. Kjo sjell zgjatjen e proceseve gjyqësore. Në vitin e fundit ne kemi evidentuar jo vetëm afate në gjykim, por edhe afate të gjata edhe në zbardhjen e vendimeve. Nuk zbardhen as vendimet në kohë dhe kemi mesatarisht për persona që janë dënuar 6 muaj për t‘u zbardhur vendimi në kohë” shton Ballanca.
But, with the reforms that have been taken or are being taken, can this situation be fixed?! "A draft of the Criminal Code came out, and as you can see, we have another toughening, criminalizing another number of criminal offenses. The process of vetting has resulted in a kind of great willingness of prosecutors and judges to take all people to prison," she asserts. top channel
