The report on the situation of prisons in Europe, published in Strasbourg by the Council of Europe, shows that the countries with the highest imprisonment rates were Türkiye (458 inmates per 100,000 inhabitants), Azerbaijan (271), the Republic of Moldova (245), Georgia (232), Hungary (206), Montenegro (200), Albania (192) Poland (189), Latvia (189), Czechia (178), Serbia (174), Lithuania (154), and Slovakia (151). Overall, in Europe, one in four prisoners is in pre-trial detention. “Pre-trial detention, which often has a strong impact on prison density, does not follow a clear regional trend. The prison systems with the highest proportions were Albania (62%), Montenegro (53%), Armenia (52%), Switzerland (49%), and the Netherlands (45%). Foreign nationals represented “a substantial share of the prison population in some prison systems and a very small proportion in others, for several reasons, including migration flows, legal frameworks, and geopolitical factors”. Overall, in Europe, 17% of inmates were non-EU citizens. Prison systems with particularly high proportions of foreign nationals included Luxembourg (78%), Switzerland (73%), Cyprus (54%), Austria (53%), Slovenia (52%), Catalonia (Spain) (52%), Greece (52%), Malta (51%), and Germany (47%).
