The arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, has also been in this prison for more than 15 months.

When narcotics are introduced for ordinary prisoners, the question that arises is: What is introduced into these facilities for "VIP" prisoners?

Not to mention the possibility of how these spaces could be used by known prisoners of this institution, who are held there in shackles and are awaiting trial and sentence.

First, drugs are introduced and second, their lives may be at risk. These are beyond the discussion of what such prisoners may benefit.

These are "VIP" characters whose lives could be at risk, who do not belong to the underworld, but are political and elected officials, while awaiting the decision against them while staying in this penitentiary, where tolerances go to this point. /CNA
