520 |a In 2018, the Albanian legislature adopted the hard prison regime to respond to organized crime. The regime consists of a temporary suspension of detention protocols for persons in custody believed to be connected with organized criminal groups, based on an order from the Minister of Justice. Through face-to-face interviews with prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys, government officials, civil society representatives, and academics, this study examines the essential characteristics of the regime, its legal basis, its effectiveness in achieving the desired result, and the undesired consequences. The findings reveal diverse perspectives on the regime’s effectiveness, with some interviewees acknowledging its potential to sever ties between leaders and criminal organizations. In contrast, others question its limited scope and potential human rights violations. This paper offers insights to inform future legal reforms and policies, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that upholds human rights while tackling organized crime effectively. 
520 |a Leta 2018 je bil v albansko zakonodajo uveden strog zaporski režim kot odgovor na organizirano kriminaliteto. Režim, na podlagi odredbe ministra za pravosodje, obsega začasno suspenzijo pripornih oziroma zapornih protokolov za osebe v priporu oziroma zaporu, ki so povezane z organiziranimi kriminalnimi združbami. Izhajajoč iz osebnih intervjujev s tožilci, sodniki, odvetniki, vladnimi uslužbenci, predstavniki civilne družbe in akademiki ta študija proučuje temeljne značilnosti režima, njegovo pravno podlago in učinkovitost pri doseganju želenega rezultata in nezaželenih posledic. Ugotovitve so pokazale različne poglede na učinkovitost režima, pri čemer so nekateri intervjuvanci priznavali njegov potencial za pretrganje vezi med voditelji in kriminalnimi združbami. Nasprotno pa drugi dvomijo v omejen obseg režima in izpostavljajo morebitne kršitve človekovih pravic. Prispevek ponuja vpoglede za informiranje prihodnjih pravnih reform in politik, pri čemer poudarja potrebo po uravnoteženem pristopu, ki zagotavlja človekove pravice in se hkrati učinkovito spopada z organizirano kriminaliteto.
