Politics | September 9, 2007, SundayBulgaria plans to start building two new prisons next year, Justice Minister Miglena Tacheva told Bulgarian state radio BNR on Sunday.
One prison will be built near the Black Sea port of Varna, on a land plot spanning 19 hectares, while the other one is planned to be in the neighbourhood of capital Sofia.
The ministry plans to build the two prisons using public-private partnerships, Tacheva added.
All Bulgarian prisons date back to the Communist era, with no new facilities built over the past 17 years and little money allocated to repair and upgrade the existing ones.
