It was shut down in 2016 after continuing complaints about poor conditions at the detention facility. Kosovos government decided to reopen it for visitors and to begin transforming it into a museum.

【新唐人北京時間2021年12月21日訊】丹麥監牢人數自2015年起增加近兩成,監獄守衛人數卻減少近兩成,引發過度擁擠問題。為舒緩監獄囚犯過多的問題,20日,巴爾幹半島國家科索沃同意丹麥以每年1500萬歐元(約1700萬美元)的價格,租用科索沃300間牢房。
中央社報導,兩國12月1日簽署意向聲明。根據聯合聲明,這份協議初步效期5年,且有可能自動延長5年。
丹麥自2023年起將把囚犯送至科索沃的格尼拉內(Gjilan),這座城鎮距離首都普裡斯汀納(Pristina)約50公裡。
科索沃司法部長哈久(Albulena Haxhiu)說,科索沃有700至800個閒置監獄空間,同時強調,出租牢房「將適用丹麥法律」。
丹麥上週指出,送往科索沃的囚犯會是服刑期滿將被驅逐出境的外國人。
