Greece on the Brink: Prisons closures and overcrowing

"The latest prison to close its gates to new prisoners is that of Tripolis, designed for 65 inmates and currently holding 180.

Meanwhile, another four prison governors have informed the justice ministry that they are close to capacity and already suffering from acute overcrowding. 

The number of inmates in prisons throughout the country is now at 12,703 and is the largest in the history of the Greek state, while the entire prison system's capacity is for no more than 9,300."
