The Penitentiary Institution (PI) Achterhoek consists of the Ooyerhoek location in Zutphen.
The Penitentiary Institution (PI) Achterhoek, also known as Ooyerhoek, is located in Zutphen. PI Achterhoek has space for 204 detainees and serves as both a prison and a House of Detention. The facility also has an EZV and ISD department. EZV stands for Extra Care Facility. This department houses detainees who cannot function in a regular department because they need extra care and guidance. ISD stands for Institution for Habitual Offenders. These are so-called repeat offenders who have been sentenced by the court to an ISD measure for a maximum of two years. The detention period is used to specifically address the often complex addiction issues and any psychological problems of the ISD inmate.
Our advice / tip
Never make a statement to anyone from the police before consulting with a lawyer: not as a suspect and not as a witness either. This also applies when the police officer is not sitting at a computer. The police may write down everything you say, even when you’re not in an official interrogation situation.
