A new, multi-year political agreement has been entered into for the Danish Prison and Probation Service, says Minister of Justice Nick Hækkerup (S) at a doorstep meeting.
The parties behind the agreement for the Prison and Probation Service have agreed to rent 300 prison places in Kosovo.
This was stated by Minister of Justice Nick Hækkerup (S) on Wednesday, after negotiating the agreement in place with the Danish People’s Party, SF and the Conservatives.
In addition, the prison capacity in Denmark must be expanded by several hundred places.
It should make it possible to handle up to 1000 more prisoners than today.
– We were short of up to 1,000 places in the Danish Prison and Probation Service in 2025. I am proud to say that with the agreement we are jointly handling the bound task.
– Among other things, we agree that work must be done to rent prison places in Kosovo to deportation convicts from third countries. And we are expanding with more prison places in Danish prisons in both the short and long term, says Nick Hækkerup about the agreement.
Does not solve all problems
The agreement adds four extra billion kroner to the new initiatives.
They also include a new gang prison, three new detention prisons, less use of the penal cell and better opportunities for inmates’ children to keep in touch with their parents.
– The agreement entails a historic increase in funding. But it will not solve all the problems for the Prison and Probation Service here and now.
– But with this agreement, we have created the conditions for us, with a long tough move, to improve conditions and bring the Danish Prison and Probation Service back into balance, the minister says.
The Danish People’s Party’s legal policy spokesman Peter Skaarup tells TV 2 that it eases the burden on the Danish prison system.
– The deported criminals can now serve their sentences abroad and it is no secret that there are space problems in Danish prisons, says Skaarup.
Kosovo Prison Service accused of corruption
The Conservatives are also voting in favor of the new agreement with the Balkan nation.
– It has been an important imprint for the Conservatives that with the agreement here we can ensure that there are no convicts running around the streets because they are waiting to serve their sentences, says Britt Bager.
However, the Liberal Party’s legal spokesman Preben Bang Henriksen calls it a ‘slacker agreement’.
In the agreement that has now been entered into, the hardened criminals will have their debts forgiven. They get more time at home in an ankle brace, they get more time on a pension instead of in a jail, and they are generally released earlier.
The Radical Left would not enter into the agreement on the given terms. Because experience from abroad is scary, says the party’s legal spokeswoman Samira Nawa.
– Norway has previously had a much-maligned agreement to rent prison places in the Netherlands. We are very concerned that we are on our way out of a slippery slope when we in Denmark do not want to take responsibility for our prisoners ourselves. Kosovo’s prison system has been criticized for corruption, violence between prisoners and poorly trained staff.
The agreement adds four extra billion kroner to the new initiatives.
It applies to the period 2022-2025 and also deals with an intensified effort to attract and retain prison officers.
That’s the translated article. I used Google Translate.
**The 300 prisoners are all people who have been expelled from Denmark in addition to jail time for serious crime.**
Brilliant! Wish my country would do the same.
Kosovo will be turned into a prison distric for the EU
lol
> Norway has previously had a much-maligned agreement to rent prison places in the Netherlands.
Wait, what the French Toast?
“deportation convicts from third countries”, hmmmmmm

Please use deepl.com the next time. Google translate for European languages (except for English) to English is cancer. Thanks.
Great idea. Let the site be in the north of Kosovo, so that when they escape, they wish they didn’t.
EU Guantanamo when?

…And all the Naughty boys went to Kosovo. The end.
Hillarious. I just hope Kosovo bros are ok with this.
Rent them cells in Black Dolphin in Russia, that will shake up their world.
Easy solution to a problem for Denmark, easy income for Kosovo, these sorts of deals should be more common
Will fail miserably.
We (Belgium) tried renting extra jail space from the Netherlands. The practice was condemned by the ECHR. Prisoners still have rights and they have families. If you move a prisoner to Kosovo, how are his children going to visit?
I wonder Why 😂😂
Whole of Kosovo is a prison already
Importation of immigrants and prisoners will become a new industry for Kosovo.
Denmark keeps doing what Sweden desperately needs to do but won’t do in the near future (be tougher on crime and immigration)…
