K. Jonaitis, an 83-year-old man, has lodged a complaint regarding a decision from Pravieniškių 2nd Prison that was finalized in January 2025. According to Sigita Gamulienė, Deputy for Media and Public Relations of the Regional Administrative Court, the convicted person appealed to the Regional Administrative Court, requesting that the head of Pravieniškių 2nd Prison issue an order to rectify a perceived violation.
The applicant asserts that the prison administration is unreasonably obstructing his ability to purchase and keep an electric classical guitar, alleging that this action hinders his self-improvement process due to negative treatment. In response to the appeal, the Lithuanian Prison Service provided a statement. The service indicated that, following a review of the applicant’s personal belongings, it determined that the convicted person currently possesses over 89 kg of personal items within his cell.
This weight measurement was cited in the official response concerning the dispute within the prison. Separately, unrelated news reports detailed a fatal accident on the Rykantai-Trakai road, where a head-on collision resulted in the death of two individuals. The complaint from Mr.
Jonaitis centers on the alleged restrictions placed upon his possession of the musical instrument by the facility management. The legal proceedings involve the interpretation of regulations governing inmate property rights within the correctional setting.
