What is the number of prisoners in our country since 1990? The upper digit is

The 12th episode of the "Talk to Anila Hoxha" podcast on Top Albania Radio, a project of the "Fol" center under the support of the Public Relations office at the American embassy in Tirana, is entitled "Not just prison". It is titled "Second Chance".

Is there a second chance or not and what are the consequences that await anyone who closes a chapter with the courts and the law? And as a typical case, we bring you the case of a child who, after being arrested in 2006 for stealing, decided to become a prosecutor.

Perhaps inspired by the prosecutor who investigated him when he was a child, Shiqiri Manjani changed his path from that moment on. He studied and achieved his dream, he was declared winner in the School of Magistracy.

But then with a decriminalization form in front of him, he realized that the past will haunt him for the rest of his life even though he has been rehabilitated by the law.

Since anyone who wins the Magistrateship is vetted by the Councils, Manjani wrote about his childhood and saw how he was immediately disqualified. Having lost the right to become a prosecutor, the 33-year-old turned to the courts, including the Constitutional Court, who reminded him that he was a minor at the time he was investigated and that he is a rehabilitated citizen.

But the Constitutional Court assesses that anyone entering the judiciary is expected to be virtuous, a criterion that the candidate did not fulfill for the criterion of purity.

The "Manjani" case has raised questions about concepts such as rehabilitation. Moreover, when in Albania the number of convicted citizens is quite high. Officially, the General Directorate of Prisons tells the "FOL" Center that from 1990 until now, 380,000 citizens have been convicted and, as a result, imprisoned.
