Prisons in Albania

Prisons in Albania are divided into three levels: closed, semi-open, and open. A difference is made between ordinary closed prisons and high security prisons. Most Albanian prisons have separate blocks (wings) for women and children (juveniles), while others keep women and children together. As a way of enforcing prison rules, prisoners are allowed to elect a council of reeducation within each prison.
