Netherlands to close prisons for lack of criminals

The Dutch justice ministry has announced it will close eight prisons and cut 1,200 jobs in the prison system. A decline in crime has left many cells empty.

During the 1990s the Netherlands faced a shortage of prison cells, but a decline in crime has since led to overcapacity in the prison system. The country now has capacity for 14,000 prisoners but only 12,000 detainees.

Deputy justice minister Nebahat Albayrak announced on Tuesday that eight prisons will be closed, resulting in the loss of 1,200 jobs. Natural redundancy and other measures should prevent any forced lay-offs, the minister said.

The overcapacity is a result of the declining crime rate, which the ministry's research department expects to continue for some time.

Belgian prisoners

Some reprieve might come from a deal with Belgium, which is facing overpopulation in its prisons. The two countries are working out an agreement to house Belgian prisoners in Dutch prisons. Some five-hundred Belgian prisoners could be transferred to the Tilburg prison by 2010.

The Netherlands would get 30 million euros in the deal, and it will allow the closing of the prisons in Rotterdam and Veenhuizen to be postponed until 2012.

according to the global peace index which placed Malaysia at the 19th safest country in the world, Netherlands is 25th, after Singapore which is 24th.

so should all the countries that were ranked 1-25 close their prisons?

The are many criteria/point need to add up.
Eg. In Malaysia are less likely beat up by FT/tourist/passer
In Singapore due to too many case FT fighting with FT/SG/SG fighting with SG all bring the point down.
The are point sytem like
1. Fighting case
2. Thief
3. Free speech
4................Many more point.

lky's son's govt might like to consider sending sg elders there [for a fee if the price is right, behind those safe confines]. looks like a win-win solution and could better bilateral relations as well.
