On 10 April 1967, Unit 309 was moved to the Vlora field reclamation site. Significant works were performed in this area. An eight-kilometre-long embankment was built, which separated the saltworks from the swamp.
During their stay in Skrofotinë, near the Vlora-Fier national road, 10 km from the Mifol Bridge towards Vlora, convicts worked on a rough terrain at the saltworks, where deep canals were built.
This camp’s purpose was soil desalination to turn the area into arable land, but the project failed.
Kiço Gjançi was the commissar.
*In April 1968, a convict attempts to escape his site by jumping from the wire, benefitting from the lack of the guards’ vigilance due to them not being fully alert, but this convict was caught by two soldiers.
In 1969, 340 political convicts worked in this unit.
