Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 10 /Trend K.Zarbaliyeva/

There is a possibility that in Azerbaijani prisons, communication between prisoners and their families through the Internet program Skype may soon be coming, but it is currently forbidden by law and accordingly can't be used, head of the Prison Service Madat Guliyev told journalists.

He added that if legislation is amended, then there will be conditions allowing the use of Skype by prisoners.

Touching upon the smuggling of prohibited items into prisons, Guliyev said that 11 mobile phones were found today during an inspection of prison № 2.

He added that unfortunately, in such cases, it is often found that relatives of the prisoner are involved.
