Remetinec prison

Remetinec prison (officially Prison in Zagreb, Croatian: Zatvor u Zagrebu) is a closed-type prison located in the Remetinec neighborhood of Zagreb, Croatia.

The prison's capacity is 560 inmates, making it the largest prison in Croatia.^[1]^[2] In July 2012 it housed 904 prisoners and detainees,^[3] up from 850 in March 2009.^[1] The prison's overcrowding problem is also a major problem of the Croatian prison system in general.^[4]^[5] Poor living conditions led to a prisoners' hunger strike in May 2008.^[6] A planned expansion that will add 340 beds is financed by the Council of Europe Development Bank, and was in documentation stage as of June 2010.^[7]

Notable prisoners include Dinko Šakić, commander of the Jasenovac concentration camp, who died in the prison's hospital in 2008,^[8] and Ivo Sanader, former Prime Minister of Croatia, who was sentenced for corruption in 2012.^[9]
