For Sale: Central city location, thick walls, excellent security. Joining the state drive to dispose of ‘excess property,’ the Justice Ministry is selling three abandoned prisons – in Lviv, Odesa, and Kyiv’s leafy suburb of Kotsiubynske, near Irpin. Behind the sale, Ukraine has cut its prison population by almost two thirds – from 137,000 in 2013 to 53,000 today, reports The Kyiv Post. Justice Ministry plans to use the money to improve food and conditions at existing prisons.
