Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras inaugurated on Monday the first independent therapeutic community KETHEA-Prometheus for detained drug users.

It can accommodate up to 84 people who will get a 24-hour basis treatment.

“It is a window of hope,” Mr. Tsipras underlined stressing that this therapeutic community constitutes a new approach to the prison policy, which is based on providing a second chance.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister received a warm welcome by the prisoners.
