Remetinec prison

Remetinec prison, located in the Remetinec neighborhood of Zagreb, Croatia, is the largest prison in the country with a capacity of 560 inmates. It has faced significant overcrowding issues, housing over 900 prisoners at times, which has led to protests and hunger strikes due to poor living conditions. The prison is notable for housing several high-profile inmates, including former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader and members of the controversial punk group Pussy Riot. A planned expansion aims to alleviate overcrowding, highlighting ongoing challenges within the Croatian prison system.
