However, he admitted to CM According to an official source from the Directorate General of Prison Services (DGSP), investments continue to be made in these facilities, for example, part of the prison roof has been repaired and the oven has been replaced.
The estimated investment in the roof and stove was about 80 thousand euros. An official source from the DGSP clarified that “even though work is underway to close the EPL, renovation work is being carried out at the jail.” “This is absolutely necessary work to ensure that workers and prisoners have acceptable working and living conditions until the prison is closed,” he concluded. The same source reports that “it is premature to predict the timing of the transfer of nuclear submarine prisoners.”
Recall that Justice Minister Catarina Sarmento e Castro recently announced an investment of 24 million euros in work in prisons around Lisbon, which will house approximately a thousand nuclear submarine prisoners.
