This unit was numbered 302 and opened in 1982 in Lezha.By the end of that year, it was decided that any kind of convict who was certified as incapacitated by a physician (mainly old people) would serve his sentence here.
The prison was populated by ageing and incapacitated convicts.Therefore, prison 302 was a place where convicts usually did not work.According to information from September 1983, known figures such as Fadil Paçrami, Todi Lubonja, Vasil Kati, Zija Rexha, Miço Veshi, Kristofor Mërtiroand Hekuran Yzeiri served their sentences there. A month after, some of them would go to the Burrel Prison.
19 police officers and 37 military men worked in Unit 302.In 1985, there were 381 political convicts and 326 ordinary convicts worked.According to a study made by the end of 1986, there were 588 convicts in the prison (386 political convicts and 202 ordinary convicts). 50% out of the political convicts were sentenced for agitation and propaganda and 20% for escape attempts. Around 42% convicts were over 60 and 18% were 55–60.As such, this prison was a place where senior convicts stayed, who were tired from the long sentences.
According to CMD no. 438 dated 20 December 1987, the Re-education School for Minors was opened in this unit. Then, it was thought to gradually replace its old population with younger convicts.The convicts were moved there from other units.Ordinary convicts mainly went to Unit 301/1, Batër, whereas political ones to units 303 and 311.
