Danish Justice Minister Nick Hækkerup announced today a new political agreement for the Danish Prison and Probation Service. Parliamentary parties agreed to lease 300 prison spaces in Kosovo. This announcement followed negotiations on the agreement with the Danish People's Party, the SF, and the Conservative Party.
In addition, prison capacity in Denmark will be increased by an estimated hundreds of new places, with the aim of potentially providing 1,000 additional places in Danish prisons.
وعلق نيك هيكروب بالقول: “أنا فخور بأن أقول إننا من خلال الاتفاق نتعامل بشكل مشترك مع المهمة الملزمة. فبالإضافة لأمور أخرى، اتفقنا على أنه يجب العمل على تأجير أماكن سجون في كوسوفو لمدانين بترحيلهم من دول ثالثة. إننا نتوسع في المزيد من الأماكن في السجون الدنماركية على المديين القصير والطويل”.
The agreement also provides for an additional 4 billion kroner to be injected into new initiatives, including a new gang prison, three new detention facilities, less use of the penal cell, and better opportunities for inmates' children to stay in touch with their parents.
Although the agreement involves a historic increase in funding, it does not solve all the problems of the prison and probation service. According to Heikrup, this agreement paves the way for improved conditions and a return to balance for the Danish prison and probation service.
Peter Skarup, the legal policy spokesman for the Danish People's Party, told TV2 that this would ease the burden on the Danish prison system, as deported criminals could now serve their sentences outside Denmark. It is no secret that there are space problems in Danish prisons.
Fewer convicted people on the streets
The Conservatives voted in favor of the new agreement, believing that an important mark for the Conservative Party through the agreement is ensuring that no convicts are running around the streets simply because they are waiting to serve their sentences.
وتنطبق الاتفاقية على الفترة من 2022 – 2025 حيث سيتم كذلك بذل جهود مكثفة لجذب ضباط السجون والاحتفاظ بهم على رأس عملهم.
