Prisoners watch match in stadium in Turkey’s Giresun

GİRESUN

Prisoners in the Black Sea province of Giresun got a special day out on Oct. 22 after a local prosecutor permitted them to attend a match between local side Giresunspor and Boluspor in Turkey’s second tier.

Prisoners unfurled a banner which said “The Directorate of Giresun Prison wishes success to Giresunspor.”   
Footballers from Giresunspor also applauded the prisoners who came to watch the match.

Sixty prisoners watched the match behind the goal alongside wardens after permission was granted by Chief Prosecutor Ozan Kaya.

Kaya said that they made this decision as part of efforts to provide opportunities for prisoners to socialize and improve their mental health.

Kaya also said he organized similar events in Çorum, Çankırı and Sinop where he was stationed before.
    
Boluspor won the match 2-1.
