Greek PM to open rehab center at Diavata Prison
Alexis Tsipras is due to become the first Greek prime minister to pay an official visit to a penitentiary institution on Monday, when he inaugurates a rehabilitation center for drug addicts at Diavata Prison near Thessaloniki.
The rehab unit is the most up-to-date in the Greek correctional system and has been created as part of the government’s efforts to improve the reintegration of inmates into society.
The Justice Ministry has also sought to focus on educational programs for prisoners.
Tsipras is due to be accompanied by Justice Minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos on his visit to Diavata.
