The Prison Service wants to centralize the hearing of criminal cases in Harju County Court

The prison service wants to stop transporting detainees and start hearing criminal cases only in Harju County Court. According to the court and the prosecutor's office, concentrating criminal cases in one place may not be a good solution, as it will move the trial away from smaller venues.
