The union of probation officers, psychologists and social workers in prisons is pushing for an increase in the number of employees who work with prisoners on the front lines. This was announced from Veliko Tarnovo by the BNR correspondent Zdravka Maslyankova, who was attending a reporting meeting of the union.
