Remetinec prison, Correctional facility in Sveta Klara, Croatia
Remetinec is a correctional facility in Zagreb comprising interconnected buildings with fortress-like structures, perimeter walls, watchtowers, and multiple secured entry checkpoints. The compound includes separate sections designed to house different categories of detainees and staff administrative areas.
The facility opened in 1987 as Croatia's largest detention center with an initial design capacity of approximately 560 inmates. It gradually expanded and underwent modernizations to accommodate the evolving needs of the national penal system.
The facility operates under Croatian penal regulations, maintaining programs for education, work activities, and rehabilitation services for the inmate population.
Visitors require prior authorization and must follow strict security procedures conducted at the entrance. Planning ahead for the visit and confirming entry requirements with authorities is essential before arrival.
The prison population exceeded its intended capacity by 161% in 2012, housing 904 detainees despite being designed for 560 individuals.
