Skopje's Telma TV claimed that the prisoners started shouting and slamming the door and bars asking the guards to let them go out of the old buildings of the male department. They were told that they can not escape from the yard because it is surrounded by high wall.

The guards tried to calm the situation, but it escalated, so they had to inform the prison director Zivko Pejkovski. It was around midnight when he came to the prison and somehow managed to calm the situation saying that there is no danger even if a stronger earthquake struck.

In the prison "Idrizovo" the most risky place is the man department because it is an old shabby building. That's why prisoners fear that the building might just collapse with stronger earthquake, and they wouldn't be able to go out in safety on time.

Telma TV asked the prison Warden Zivko Pejkovic and the director of Directorate for execution of sanctions Lidija Gavrilovska which are protocols and how to behave in prison in the case of elemental disasters, but they did not get an answer.

And while the institution toss responsibility to each other, prisoners fear that they will be stuck behind bars with no chance to escape in case of stronger earthquakes.
