Explanations

A table has been created for the lists, which can be downloaded from the General Directorate for Prisons and Prisons in the Ministry of Justice ( Turkish Adalet Bakanlığı Ceza ve Tevkifevleri Genel Müdürlüğü ) of Turkey. It reflects the status of December 1, 2008. No districts or provinces or coordinates are given for the locations .

  • Information on the individual types of prisons can be found on the Prisons in Turkey page .
  • The Democratic Turkey Forum (DTF) has prepared information from the Ministry of Justice on the occupancy of the prisons (which prisoners go to which prisons?) As an Excel table with comments. The file is available to download or open .
  • For more information, see Prison Law (Turkey)

In addition, the General Directorate for Prisons and Prisons counts 384 prisons (excluding prisons that are subordinate to other prisons) and calculates a capacity of these prisons (as of December 2008) of 98,238 inmates.
