    General information

    Rahova Penitentiary is 8 km away from the centre of Bucharest, the capital of


    Romania.
    Opened in 1997, the penitentiary has seven detention units. Its overall capacity is
    of about 1700 places - male detainees serving definitive sentences in closed
    regime, convicted by first instance courts and on preventive arrest.

    The detainees are minors (up to 18 years old) in transit, young detainees (18-21
    years old) and adults (over 21 years old).

    Facilities
    - classrooms and educational spaces
    - sports facilities - two football fields, fitness rooms and exercise yards
    - a carpentry workshop intended to train and qualify detainees
    - a central Club for cultural activities
    - a shop for detainees
    - a church
    - an Infirmary - for the aged /disabled detainees
    - rooms for marital visits

    Detention Regimes

    Beginning with February 2009 Rahova Penitentiary accommodates only closed


    regime and on preventive arrest detainees.

    Closed Regime - detainees serving prison sentences between 5 -15 years of


    detention

    Preventive arrest
    The Liaison Judge

    His activity consists mainly in solving the detainees’ complaints against the
    various disciplinary sanctions they receive, solving complaints against the
    infringement of their rights and against ill treatment; hearing detainees who
    intend to go on hunger strike etc.

    Education and psychosocial assistance

    Most of the detainees have little or no education at all, no professional


    qualifications or working skills. The programmes are designed to meet their
    individual needs: literacy and numeracy skills, substantial support and tuition for
    the improvement of basic and social skills for future employment or training and
    short qualifications which can be obtained in a few months.

    A range of activities and opportunities are offered to prisoners while they are in
    custody. These can include:

    - education – the Second Chance Programme (designed for illiterate persons


    and providing primary school courses), the quarantine program (acquaintance
    with the internal organization rules of the penitentiary), sanitary education, a pre-
    release program (letter of application, job seeking strategies, situation on the
    labour market etc), the basics of decent behaviour, education on legal issues,
    family life education, basic computer learning etc. (with the help of volunteers
    from Youth for Justice Association)

    - activities for an active life including painting and modelling workshops, quiz
    contests on basic knowledge themes, various shows, music and dance
    performance, detainees’ magazines, sport (including a range of individual and
    team-based activities and competitions), library (books provided by the National
    Library of Bucharest, Romania)

    - religious assistance provided by the orthodox priest of the penitentiary


    - voluntary religious activities provided by representatives of religious
    cults/associations/ foundations such as Humanitarian Service for Penitentiaries,
    Prison Fellowship, Bethesda Association, Zacheu Association etc.

    - professional training courses.- masonry-bricklaying/carpentry/hairdressing


    etc. delivered by personnel of the County Employment Agency

    - work for the penitentiary such as cleaning, serving food etc. and for different
    providers outside the penitentiary ( thus shortening the length of the imposed
    sentence by the number of days worked)

    Healthcare

    Medical care is available to detainees from the doctors employed here. Drug
    addicts who are substituted by methadone are looked after by the medical staff of
    the Penitentiary Hospital.
