Gulyas: Govt to earmark HUF 30 bn for reducing prison overcrowding
February 27th, 2020
The government has granted 30 billion forints (EUR 88.4m) to the interior ministry to eliminate overcrowding in Hungarian prisons, Gergely Gulyas, the head of the Prime Minister's Office, told a regular press conference on Thursday. Hungarian prisons are 115 percent full, Gulyas said, adding that the funds may be used to set up temporary facilities with the aim of eliminating overcrowding by Sept. 30. The minister welcomed parliament's decision earlier this week to suspend compensation payments to inmates who sued the state over poor prison conditions.
