Remetinec prison
Remetinec prison (officially Prison in Zagreb, Croatian: Zatvor u Zagrebu) is a closed-type prison located in the Remetinec neighborhood of Zagreb, Croatia.
The prison's capacity is 560 inmates, making it the largest prison in Croatia.[1][2] In July 2012 it housed 904 prisoners and detainees,[3] up from 850 in March 2009.[1] The prison's overcrowding problem is also a major problem of the Croatian prison system in general.[4][5] Poor living conditions led to a prisoners' hunger strike in May 2008.[6] A planned expansion that will add 340 beds is financed by the Council of Europe Development Bank, and was in documentation stage as of June 2010.[7]
