The General Directorate of Prisons has reacted after the publication of a video by journalist Flamur Nezaj, where several convicts were seen partying in their cells with alcohol and cell phones.

According to the Directorate of Prisons, the video had previously come to their attention and was suspected to have been filmed in the cells of Durrës Prison. In this case, verifications have been initiated against the institution's chain of command.

The announcement also notes that the people shown in the video have been identified and it appears that some of them were released or transferred before January 2026.

Meanwhile, it is emphasized that the checks have been intensified and continue uninterrupted. Just today, several mobile phones were found in Durres Prison.

Statement by the General Directorate of Prisons:

Regarding the video published on social networks by journalist Flamur Nezaj, we clarify as follows:

First, we thank the journalist for the information made public and encourage every citizen or journalist to denounce any illegal act or violation that violates security in penitentiary institutions.

Secondly, we clarify that the people shown in the video have been identified by our structures and it turns out that some of them were released or transferred before January 2026.

Immediately after the video was circulated, the Internal Control Service of the Prison System was notified and procedures for a full investigation have been initiated. The investigation includes all persons identified in the video, as well as a full verification of the chain of command at the Durrës Penitentiary Institution, in order to determine responsibilities at every level.

In parallel, the structures of the Durrës Penitentiary Institution continue intensive controls with the aim of fully identifying those responsible and initiating criminal proceedings against the persons involved.

 

The current situation is not what is shown in the video. The controls have been intensified and continue uninterrupted. During today, surprise and detailed controls were carried out in several institutions.

Three mobile phones were caught red-handed and seized at the Durrës Penitentiary. The owners of these devices are among the people identified in the video. Immediate measures have been taken against them, including placing them in isolation and criminal proceedings.

The General Directorate of Prisons does not tolerate any violations. Each case is treated with concrete measures, individual responsibility and criminal prosecution.

The message is clear: security is not negotiable. Any violation will be dealt with without compromise and control in penitentiary institutions will continue to be strengthened every day.
