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.

【新唐人北京时间2021年12月21日讯】丹麦监牢人数自2015年起增加近两成,监狱守卫人数却减少近两成,引发过度拥挤问题。为舒缓监狱囚犯过多的问题,20日,巴尔干半岛国家科索沃同意丹麦以每年1500万欧元(约1700万美元)的价格,租用科索沃300间牢房。
中央社报导,两国12月1日签署意向声明。根据联合声明,这份协议初步效期5年,且有可能自动延长5年。
丹麦自2023年起将把囚犯送至科索沃的格尼拉内(Gjilan),这座城镇距离首都普里斯汀纳(Pristina)约50公里。
科索沃司法部长哈久(Albulena Haxhiu)说,科索沃有700至800个闲置监狱空间,同时强调,出租牢房“将适用丹麦法律”。
丹麦上周指出,送往科索沃的囚犯会是服刑期满将被驱逐出境的外国人。
