Beginning of works on Chmielów Penitentiary
On 8 April 2021, a contract was signed at the District Inspectorate of Prison Service in Rzeszów for the execution of project documentation as part of the investment task ‘Construction of a penitentiary complex in Chmielów’. The F-11 Design Studio will design one of the most modern penitentiary complexes. On behalf of the contractor, the contract was signed by Professor Marcin Furtak and the District Inspectorate of the prison Service in Rzeszów was represented by Mjr. Jarosław Wójtowicz. According to the contract, the project works will take place in two stages. The first one, including the development of an architectural, functional and utility concept, will last until the end of July. The next step is to complete the design documentation and obtain permission to build the penitentiary complex in Chmielów. This task should be completed in November this year.
Worth reminding is the fact, that under the project called "Pilot Penitentiary Complexes" co-financed by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014–2021 under “Justice” Operational Program it is scheduled to support Penitentiary Facility in Dębica, the Outer Ward in Chmielów in particular. According to the financial provisions of the project, there will be a residential Pavilion for about 200 sentenced women and a production hall for persons serving prison sentences. In addition, an innovative facility called a Transitional House will be created to complement the social reintegration process at the penitentiary unit in which, under conditions similar to the normal conditions, the inmates will be preparing for the termination of their imprisonment. Moreover, the project resources will cover, apart from the investment, training and education support for the staff of Chmielów Outer Ward which will be covered by modified training methods for the Prison Service staff under the Norwegian Financial Mechanism project.
