At present 24 women are serving their sentences in the facility.
Pospisil (senior government Civic Democrats, ODS) said another two prisons would be opened this year - in Postorna, south Moravia, and in Vysni Lhoty, north Moravia, with a total capacity of some 700 inmates.
They will solve the problem with the lack of capacity in Czech prisons, he added.
At present some 23,300 people are imprisoned in the 10.5-million Czech Republic, while the capacity of the existing prisons is about 20,600.
"The state is solving this problem efficiently, quickly and in the cheapest way," Pospisil said.
Last year, the Prison Service increased the prisons´ capacity by 912.
Women sent to a prison with guarding and supervision are serving their sentences in Prilepy.
The first prison exclusively for women in the country is in Svetla nad Sazavou, east Bohemia.
Prison Service general director Jiri Tregler said the facility in Svetla nad Sazavou is overcrowded. At present 800 women are imprisoned there.
"Conditions are considerably limited there," Tregler added.
The new prison in Velke Prilepy was established in former barracks and asylum facility. The complex was reconstructed for 11 million crowns.
Tregler said he expected another investment of four million crowns in the facility´s equipment.
The reconstruction of an old complex was much less expensive than building a prison on greenfield, Pospisil pointed out.
The construction of a brand new prison would cost about 150 million crowns, he added.
The facility in Velke Prilepy has been the fifth prison in the Central Bohemian Region. The others are in Oracov, Jirice, Vinarice and Pribram.
