A cabinet plan to address the cell shortage is expected to create over 1,700 places, reports State Secretary Claudia van Bruggen (Justice and Security). To free up spaces in more secure cells, she intends to implement austere regimes more frequently. Furthermore, she plans to make greater use of electronic ankle bracelets to help prisoners reintegrate into society.
With an action plan presented on Friday, State Secretary Claudia van Bruggen (Justice, D66) aims to resolve the prison cell shortage. She believes it is time for a serious discussion about different sentencing. "After all, you don't solve the problem by simply cramming people behind bars."
Prisons are still far too full. Therefore, the cabinet is introducing an action plan. The prison regime must become more austere, and the use of electronic ankle bracelets is being investigated. In the worst-case scenario, even more prisoners will not serve their full sentences.
