The Hungarian Prison Service Headquarters (BvOP) announced on Tuesday that prisoners are producing metal and wooden furnishings for the new prison being built in Csenger
Head of the Communication Department Colonel György Makula stated that alongside innovative IT developments
the cell equipment will also be most modern in the new prison
Production is in full swing at the Sopronkőhida Ironworks and the Budapest Carpentry Workshop of the Prison Service
which are being executed in collaboration with Duna Mix Ltd
all metal furnishings are being manufactured at Sopronkőhida Ironworks
He added: ‘The metal cell furnishings will be entirely different from the previously standardized ones
and chairs will be wall-mountable to prevent vandalism and the hiding of unauthorized items.’
Colonel Makula also mentioned that the self-designed cell fixtures will be produced in four different colours
and modern painting will be done at the company’s powder coating facility
established in 2022 as an in-house investment
This facility employs 26 inmates serving their sentences at the Sopronkőhida Prison
he explained that within a month and a half
850 pieces of furniture will be produced by inmates at the Budapest site of Nagyfa – Alföld Ltd
He highlighted that applications are still open for various positions at the new Csenger prison
So-called smart prisons have been built worldwide since 2018, State Secretary Bence Rétvári explained in January
noting that digital elements are already present in Hungarian prisons
and administrative processes are conducted using such tools
the Csenger prison will feature technology that allows full control over the movements of inmates
analysing their behaviour and facial expressions with the help of artificial intelligence
the system sends an alert to the supervisors to prepare for any extraordinary events
This will further enhance the safety of incarceration

Metrics details
propagates and exacerbates cardiovascular diseases via various mechanisms that are yet not properly understood
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in the pathomechanism of these diseases
To understand how circulating or cardiac-derived EVs could affect myocardial functions
we analyzed the metabolomic profile of circulating EVs
and we performed an in-depth analysis of cardiomyocyte (CM)-derived EVs in HC
Circulating EVs were isolated with Vezics technology from male Wistar rats fed with high-cholesterol or control chow
AC16 human CMs were treated with Remembrane HC supplement and EVs were isolated from cell culture supernatant
The biophysical properties and the protein composition of CM EVs were analyzed
THP1-ASC-GFP cells were treated with CM EVs
HC diet reduced the amount of certain phosphatidylcholines in circulating EVs
HC treatment significantly increased EV secretion of CMs and greatly modified CM EV proteome
enriching several proteins involved in tissue remodeling
CM EVs did not induce the activation of THP1 monocytes
HC strongly affects the metabolome of circulating EVs and dysregulates CM EVs
which might contribute to HC-induced cardiac derangements
These results suggest that EVs play a role in CVDs and HC
how HC affects the metabolic profile of circulating EVs has not been assessed so far
CMs are the main constituent and the functional element of the myocardium
Their EV-mediated regulation of the cardiac milieu might have great importance in CVDs
the effect of HC on EVs released by CMs still needs to be addressed
to understand the connection between CMDs and HC
an in-depth analysis of CM EVs is necessary
These results suggest that CM EVs might play a role in HC-induced inflammation
To fill the gaps and to extend our knowledge on the effect of HC on both systemic and cardiac EVs
we aimed to identify the metabolic alterations in circulating EVs and to analyze CM EVs in HC
we isolated rat circulating EVs and compared their metabolomic changes to their plasma metabolome
we assessed how HC affects the biophysical and biochemical properties of CM EVs and we analyzed their role in the activation of monocytes
Metabolomic analysis of circulating EVs in HC-fed rats
nhc = 7 for all experiments) (A) Schematic representation of the experimental plans
Male Wistar rats were kept on normal or HC diet for 12 weeks
then blood was collected and EVs were isolated from platelet-free plasma
(C) HC diet increased the amount of cholesterol esters in the blood
(D) Volcano plot of metabolome analysis on plasma (left) and EVs (right)
the intensity of numerous triacylglycerols was significantly reduced
meanwhile glycerophospholipids and cholesterol esters were enriched by HC
the intensity of most glycerophospholipids detected was decreased by HC
(E) Heatmap for the metabolites detected both in EVs and in plasma
Multiple metabolites show opposite changes between EVs and plasma
(F) Linear correlation of multiple metabolites in EVs vs
only glycerophospholipids showed a moderate correlation between plasma and EV intensities (see regression line
*p < 0.05 Student’s t-test CTRL vs HC; For metabolomics analysis (panel E) Benjamini–Hochberg false discovery p-adjustment was applied
This analysis evidence that HC diet modulates metabolites in EVs and plasma differentially
(A) Schematic representation of the experimental plans
and then the medium was replaced with serum-free medium with or without vehicle or HC supplement for another 48 h
then EVs were isolated from the cell culture supernatant
(B) Representative images of oil-red-o measurements on AC16 cells
Results show increased amounts of lipids upon HC treatment
(C) Size distribution of isolated EVs measured by NTA
Vesicles with diameters of 50–300 nm were detected in every experimental group
nhc = 10) (D) Particle number of EV isolates measured by NTA
HC increased the particle number significantly
nhc = 10) (E) Absolute protein concentration of the isolates measured with 280 nm light absorbance
HC increased the protein concentration significantly
nhc = 14) (F) Analysis of EV markers and potential contaminants using Western blot
Whole blots are presented in Supplementary Figure S3
(G) Elastic modulus of the isolates measured by AFM
out of at least three independent experiments) (H) Representative images of non-contact mode AFM measurements
second row: amplitude-contrast images in the same view field
*p < 0.05 HC vs CTRL and VEH in ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test
These results confirm the EV origin of our membrane particles and that they might contain a certain level of non-EV material
HC does not affect the lipid composition of CM-derived EVs
Analysis of immune cell activation of AC16 EVs using THP1-ASC-GFP
(A) Schematic representation of the experimental setup
EVs were isolated from AC16 cells and THP1-ASC-GFP cells were treated with the isolates
then flow cytometry measurement was applied to measure GFP expression and protein expression was analyzed with qPCR
(B) GFP expression measured by flow cytometry
LPS significantly increased the percentage of activated cells
EV treatment did not affect GFP expression
regardless of the dose or the experimental group (n = 6
No differences were observed (n = 2–3) *p < 0.05 vs PBS; ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test
in all experiments) (A) Comparison of the proteins detected with the Vesiclepedia database
A total of 2137 proteins were identified of which 2088 were described in the database and 84 proteins were found among the 100 most frequently described EV proteins
(B) Venn diagram for the representation of the statistically significant differences between the experimental groups
using ANOVA followed by Turkey’s post-hoc test
(C) Volcano plot shows significant differences between the VEH and HC groups
(D) Interaction network of proteins with significantly different abundance between the VEH and HC groups
which were selected for further analysis to explore proteomic changes induced by HC treatment in CM-derived EVs
our data show that HC treatment substantially affects the proteomic composition of CM EVs
Enrichment in RNA-associated proteins suggests that the RNA cargo of EVs can be modified as well
no specific cellular signalization pathway was identified that would be directly connected to HC-induced cardiomyopathy
we aimed to get a deeper insight into the impact of HC on circulating and CM EVs
We showed that HC diet reduced the amount of certain PCs in EVs and that changes in the lipid composition of the blood and EVs showed strikingly different patterns
we showed that HC treatment altered both the quantity and protein composition of EVs from CMs
we show that HC does not affect THP-1 monocyte activation
and that we identified an opposite directional change in lipoprotein-rich plasma
supports that the PC amount of the EV membrane or EV-associated
extravesicular constituents was decreased and such change is regulated independently of that of the plasma
a more sensitive analysis of possible non-vesicular proteins
such as mass spectrometry could be implemented
As little is known about how the reduction of PCs affects EV-regulated mechanisms
functional experiments and comprehensive analysis of circulating EVs in HC
including how such EVs affect a healthy organism also need to be implemented
metabolic analysis of EVs may provide pathophysiological or diagnostic information on cardiometabolic derangements that might remain shrouded if plasma analysis was performed alone
our results together with previous findings show that cholesterol affects EV secretion through multiple mechanisms
these changes in the CM EV proteome may play a role in HC-induced cardiac remodeling
these changes might aim to alleviate dyslipidemia and indicate the stressed metabolic condition of the CMs
complete 40S ribosomal subunits are presumably released in HC EVs
as the amount of most of its proteins was increased
the relevance of these changes needs further elucidation
our results indicate that HC treatment has a diverse effect on the molecular composition of CM EVs
these changes outline a stress signal of the CMs propagated by EVs
To validate the suggested functional effects and to unravel whether these changes contribute to or compensate for HC-induced cardiac abnormalities
further functional experiments will need to be performed
This contradiction indicates that CM- and circulating EVs might have opposing effects in the context of inflammation in HC
we concluded that CM EVs do not contribute to monocyte activation via inflammasome activation
further experiments may provide additional insights into the role of CM EVs in inflammation
As we found that the amount of certain PCs was decreased in circulating EVs
we have analyzed the total PC content of CM EVs
the PC concentration in CM EVs was unchanged
the lipid to protein ratio and the membrane rigidity
a complete comparison of the two EV sources
including both metabolomics on CM EVs and proteomics on circulating EVs may result in correlations between the sources
our results suggest that CM EVs are regulated differently in HC than circulating EVs
here we broadened our knowledge of how HC alters the molecular composition of circulating EVs and thoroughly analyzed its effect on CM EVs
According to our results and earlier studies
EVs from both sources display a stressed condition
these EVs might contribute to the dysregulated cardiac homeostasis and tissue remodeling in HC
Further analysis of these EV-mediated pathophysiological mechanisms may improve our understanding of the interaction between cardiovascular and metabolic diseases
Vezics system (vezics.com) was used to implement the isolation
Metabolites were excluded from the analysis if less than half of the measurements (< 7 for CTRL and < 4 for VEH) were below the limit of detection (LOD) in both groups independently for EV and plasma samples

Central Europe’s most advanced prison is under construction in Csenger
equipped with a high-tech smart prison system including video analysis and location determination
Interior Ministry State Secretary Bence Rétvári stated at a press conference in Budapest on Friday
the Parliamentary State Secretary for the National Prison Service emphasized at the headquarters of the Hungarian Prison Service (BVOP) that Hungary is among the world’s twenty safest countries
the number of inmates has increased by five thousand
while the annual number of crimes committed has decreased by 280 thousand
The new Criminal Code is one of the strictest in Europe
leading to more criminals being sentenced to prison for longer periods of time
and the new facility in Csenger is another important step towards ensuring the safety and security of the Hungarian people
The location of the new prison has been selected bearing in mind that it will generate will create approximately seven hundred jobs in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County
one of the less developed regions of the country
The recruitment of prison guards is already underway
So-called smart prisons have been built worldwide since 2018
He added that this will further enhance the safety of incarceration
Colonel László Biczó, the project manager of the construction, reported that over fifteen hundred resumes have been received so far, and 196 applicants have already been accepted. Currently, 172 are undergoing the 14-week preparatory training. They continue to welcome interested individuals, and applications can be submitted at the Csenger recruitment office or on the BVOP central recruitment page at their website
where detailed requirements are also available
He highlighted that every cell will have an ‘informational tool,’ allowing the inmate to manage their affairs through a closed online channel and obtain up-to-date information about their data

A groundbreaking reintegration initiative designed to support prisoners in Hungary has commenced
with over 835 participants already preparing for life after incarceration
according to a statement by the Ministry of the Interior on Thursday
known as the ‘Comprehensive Crime Prevention and Reintegration Programme to Strengthen Social Cohesion’
involves 4,000 prisoners across the country
It is funded by a non-repayable European Union grant of 5.658 billion forints and is part of the Human Resources Development Operational Programme Plus framework
The initiative focuses on equipping inmates with marketable skills
developing competencies needed for employment
Additional components include restorative justice programmes and fostering social reintegration to prepare prisoners for a productive life post-release
Participants receive personalized guidance to enhance their employability
and build a foundation for successful reintegration

providing follow-up assistance to ensure long-term success’
The programme also aims to reduce reoffending rates and combat social exclusion
The initiative offers a suite of services to ease prisoners’ transition back into society

which strengthen inmates’ accountability and commitment to social values
the programme supports prisoners for up to a year after their release
providing follow-up assistance to ensure long-term success
the programme also includes services for inmates’ families to prepare them for the reintegration process and improve their socio-economic standing
at least 750 inmates will have the opportunity to acquire marketable qualifications
The project also aims to extend services to 300 family members and involve at least 600 individuals in community employment initiatives
The Ministry highlighted that similar initiatives
such as the 15-year-old ‘Tett (Deed) Programme’
have laid the foundation for this comprehensive reintegration effort
Implemented in partnership with the National Command of Penitentiary Institutions
the project builds on this legacy to deliver impactful outcomes
The Ministry also invited organizations to participate in restorative justice programmes within prisons
emphasizing the need for community support to make such initiatives effective.‘Restorative justice can only succeed with a receptive audience,’ the statement noted
The project’s overarching aim is to integrate released prisoners into the workforce and society, thereby fostering a safer and more cohesive community. Further details about the programme can be accessed at bv.gov.hu
Csenger-Zalán Zsolt fideszes képviselőt canberrai nagykövetté nevezik ki, emiatt nem indul újra egyéniben Budakeszin, ahol így Szijjártó Péter egyik államtitkára, Menczer Tamás próbálhat szerencsét jövő tavasszal az ellenzéki közös jelölttel, vélhetően Szél Bernadettel szemben, írja a Hvg.hu.
Csenger-Zalán harmadszor indulna újra egyéniben
A lap szerint Menczer nagyobb eséllyel tudna nyerni Szél Bernadett ellen
a felkérés találkozott a személyes karrierelképzeléseivel
a karrieremet egy diplomáciai közszolgálattal fejezem be
ráadásul Ausztráliában jelentős a magyar diaszpóra
– mondta. Menczer nem válaszolt a jelöltségére. A Telexnek néhány hónapja azt nyilatkozta,
de ilyen fontos kérdéssel kapcsolatban a megfelelő időben kell
mert a parlamenti választás előtt fél évvel nem szeretne lemondani
hogy Mikola Istvánt szintén nagykövetnek nevezték ki
ő Pápua Új-Guineában és a Salamon-szigeteken nagykövet most
Hungary is constructing a new prison in Csenger and it will have some unexpected new features
The current plans for the prison were foreshadowed in a recent press conference by Bence Rétvári
Hungary’s current Secretary of State
The confrence was held at the National Command of the Prison Service (BVOP) on Friday and revealed some surprising technological upgrades
According to Economx
Central Europe’s most advanced prison is being built in Csenger
This aligns well with the fact that Hungary is one of the top twenty safest countries
there was a growth of five thousand inmates and a drastic decrease in the number of crimes
He added that this is most likely because the new penal law code is one of the strictest in Europe
This means more criminals sentenced to longer prison terms
Several other prisons have already gone through an expansion
but the Csenger prison puts Hungary to another level of penalty enforcement
The prison is said to have a capacity of 1500 and will have a fully operational video analysis and location determining system
The Secretary of State added that such prisons are not a new invention
since this level of technology has been implemented for prison use since 2018 worldwide
they have been experimenting for the last few years with digital elements inside the prison
So far they have mostly used it for communication with relatives
the easier handling of interrogations and paperwork
there will be technology allowing for complete control of the inmates’ movements
and artificial intelligence will analyse their behavior and facial expressions
If their behaviour shifts from their usual routine
the system will send a signal to the supervisors
they can prepare for an unusual event in case something out of the ordinary happens
The prison doors will operate without keys
To ensure the maximal employment of inmates
each cell will have a “computer technology device,” allowing the convicted to manage their affairs through a closed online channel
This way they can access up-to-date information about their data
and there will be digital administration as much as possible,” added the professional project manager
The State Secretary also outlined the future of digital penal execution
adding that this will make detention even safer
Bence Rétvári also emphasised that the choice of location is deliberate
The Csenger prison is placed in the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county region
where it will create approximately seven hundred jobs
He said the recruitment of prison guards has already begun
the professional project manager provided additional details
He reported that more than 1500 resumes have been received by the recruiters so far
out of which 196 applicants were already accepted
where they welcome and train the newcomers for their job
there are 172 applicants undergoing training
future members of the professional staff may receive cafeteria benefits
Those participating in the training will be entitled to full pay from the first day of education
The scheduled date for the opening of the Csenger prison is 30 September
