OSCE Mission to Moldova donates laundry machines to prison in Tiraspol
The OSCE Mission to Moldova on February 9 donated two industrial washing machines and two industrial dryers to Prison Number 3 in Tiraspol, the only penitentiary in the region where women are detained.
"This equipment will significantly improve hygienic and sanitary conditions for inmates, and help fight the spread of infectious diseases. We mustn't forget that children are growing up here," said Ambassador Louis O'Neill, the Head of the OSCE Mission.
Some of the 190 women serving their sentences in the Tiraspol prison are raising children on the penitentiary's premises. The prison also houses a department for men and a maximum security section.
Within the framework of its collaboration with penitentiary institutions in Moldova, the OSCE Mission donated winter boots to all juvenile detainees in the country in 2006, and supplied all prisons in Moldova with legal literature, as requested by the Penitentiary Department in 2005. // Reporter.MD
