Unit No. 318 built a camp in Kosovë, in the Elbasan Prefecture, during the years 1976–1991. By order No. 666/1, dated 24 December 1976 of the Minister of Internal Affairs, the unit was moved from Kuçova to Dumre (Kosovë) of Elbasan, transferring dependence from the Branch of Internal Affairs of Berat to that of Elbasan. The purpose of relocating the unit was the engagement of 400 women in agricultural work. In 1977 there were 470 prisoners in the unit. According to the data dated 15 November 1978, there were 426 women in this unit, of which 60 for political reasons.
In 1979 there was a dynamic 420–450 convicts. About 360 of these convicts were ordinary, and over 60 were political. What was special was that there were 12 Soviets, 2 Yugoslavs, and 1 Romanian in the camp. In 1980 an Italian was also added.
Tefta Koço Tasi (1933–2000) was 46 years old when she was convicted in 1979. Her brother has written down some of Tefta’s memories, including Unit 318. She points out that able-bodied women worked in two places, in Dragot, 5 km away from the unit, and in a place called ‘Gropa e Hamit Matjanit’. They worked in carpet weaving and agricultural work. Convicts were divided according to the type of their sentence.
In 1980, 57 pregnant women were serving sentences in the unit. They were sentenced to 2–4 years in prison. Some of them had asked the courts to postpone the sentence, but this was not accepted.
In 1980 there was an average of 443 convicted women, of whom less than 70 were political. The contract signed between the unit and the Belsh farm on 15 September 1980 provided for the engagement of 250 convicts at work. It was expected for women to travel up to 4 kilometres away from the unit to work in agriculture.
April 1990 is the last unit statistics for women prisoners. In April 1990, there were 41 ordinary women and one political woman.
