The Gldani prison and pre-trial detention center on the outskirts of Tbilisi are the largest in Georgia, housing about four thousand people. The Georgian penitentiary system, constantly criticized by the opposition and human rights activists, is undergoing the same tough changes as the Georgian police did at one time. The spirit of the “thieves’ zone” is carefully knocked out of the prison premises; the rules here, given the contingent of “inmates,” are very strict, but fair. Thieves' laws are destroyed in the bud. This is how eyewitnesses describe the situation in Georgian prisons and zones:
“The only type of behavior that works is cultural-human. You will behave civilly, be moderately talkative and active, you will live in a neat and clean environment - and there will be no problems. The contingent, of course, can be different and sometimes you need to stand up for yourself not only with words, but also with your fist. The administration learns about such incidents immediately and severely punishes them. You don't even need informers for this, there are cameras everywhere. So the situation has changed a lot in recent years, about 10 years ago, for money in the zone you could do everything: eat well, drink, bring in drugs, and even get a rogue was not a problem. Everyone had telephones and the dates were face-to-face and poorly controlled. Now it’s all history and simply impossible.”
Director David Kuchua, a taciturn, stern-looking Georgian, took me around prison No. 8. Photography was allowed only in the public reception area, and upon entering the prison itself, the camera was taken away, and then they sent photographs taken by “their” photographer for the information magazine of the Ministry of Corrections, Probation and Legal Aid. They took it completely in vain - I would have filmed the same thing that I saw with my own eyes and it would have been practically no different from what was sent to me by mail. Okay, they don’t go to someone else’s monastery with their own rules.
