Romanian Justice Minister Radu Marinescu announced plans to create at least 500 new prison places by year-end due to a 126% overcrowding rate. He highlighted past achievements in expanding prison capacity during his previous tenure, noting that no new places have been completed since his departure in April. The current situation in prisons has raised concerns about degrading treatment of inmates, as reported by various sources.
