The Municipality of Tirana, through the Parks and Recreation Agency and the Ministry of Justice, signed a cooperation agreement for the probation service, where convicted persons will serve their sentences by performing work in the public interest.
“We are very happy with the approach of Minister Manja, to move away from the old philosophy of imprisonment for everything, especially when it comes to juveniles. Rehabilitation is many times more acceptable and more civil than prison. In Tirana we have 3500 sentences, of which 700 are working hours in the community. From this long list for serving the sentence, 700 citizens are released from the obligation they have to society and the law by doing something useful, even for their self-esteem. “I can not wait to take these innovations that we have introduced in Tirana to other cities, especially now that the beach season begins because it needs cleaning, greenery, maintenance, etc.”
As the European Capital of Youth, this year in Tirana will be held a large number of activities so says Mayor Veliaj is a good chance to reintegrate this part of society.
“It is about a maximum of 240 working hours, of those who have committed punishable acts, but not of a criminal level and dangerous for society. Someone who may have overdosed on alcohol after a dinner or a party, someone who has overdosed on speed and may have ruined a public property like pillars or railings. I look forward to starting this season, where we will have an infinity of activities even as the European Youth Capital, to welcome those fellow citizens who I believe are reintegrating in a much more dignified way, doing something noble in return for the obligation to the community “, said Veliaj.
The Minister of Justice, Ulsi Manja said that this agreement has a mutual benefit, both for the citizens who have to serve their sentence, and for the justice system.
“The benefit of this agreement is mutual. For us as the Minister of Justice, as the Probation Service that supervises these sentences, is the rehabilitation and timely integration of these persons, while the public, the society on the other hand, is compensated for the damage caused by these persons “, said Minister Ulsi Manja.
