The aim of the project is to detect problems in Macedonian penitentiary institutions as well as the perception of bribery and corruption.
In their own statements, some of the convicts - Roma emphasize that moment that the Macedonian prisons are present that moment.
Also on that topic, Shenaj Osmanov - Director of the Association for Protection of Human Rights of Roma Roma from Stip gave his explanation and remarks.

This is also seen in the Questionnaire which aims to obtain information on the level of recognition of problems by convicts, including members of smaller ethnic communities in the Idrizovo Penitentiary, Skopje Prison Penitentiary and Stip Penitentiary, on 20 respondents. from each prison individually.
From the obtained results from the questionnaire, a report will be made that will reflect the real situation in Idrizovo Penitentiary, Skopje Penitentiary and Stip Penitentiary, and special emphasis will be placed on convicted persons belonging to the smaller ethnic communities in the country.
Depending on the results of the processing of the questionnaires, clear recommendations will be given in order to improve the position and treatment of prisoners, as well as to improve the conditions in which they serve their prison sentences.
Recommendations are expected to contribute to equal treatment of all prisoners, regardless of ethnicity.
