Summary/Abstract: The outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 virus confronted prison services daily with new challenges especially because these services are dealing with closed environments and this makes it especially difficult to provide for the right care for both prisoners and staff working in prisons. In this context it was highly important to tackle the newly arisen issues in the best possible way, choose the optimum approach and measures to keep the situation as much as possible under control and adjust to the changes in a fast, decisive and balanced rhythm.
