Instead, the inmate simply continues to serve his or her remaining time in prison.<\/p>\n<p>In Albania, the process is judicial as well as administrative. The \u2018Code of Criminal Procedure\u201d in Albania foresees and regulates the conversion of the sentence, with the exception of cases, where there\u2019s been a prior deal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/06\/17\/former-gjirokastra-mayor-sentenced-to-1-year-in-prison\/\">Former Gjirokastra Mayor sentenced to 1 year in prison<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/06\/03\/former-prosecutor-general-appeals-verdict-on-his-jail-sentence\/\">Former Prosecutor General appeals verdict sentencing him to 2-years in prison<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/07\/21\/former-interior-minister-rovena-voda-appeals-house-arrest-ruling\/\">Former deputy Interior Minister Rovena Voda appeals \u2018house arrest\u2019 ruling<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div class=\"spot-im-replies-count\" data-post-id=\"eneu15879\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albania and the United Kingdom have signed a joint deal over the transferal of prisoners to their countries of origin.
