>In de gevangenissen verblijft alles samen ongeveer 15 procent te veel gedetineerden, maar zeker in Vlaanderen zijn er plekken waar de capaciteit met makkelijk de helft wordt overschreden (zie kaart). Dat blijkt uit cijfers die N-VA-Kamerlid Sophie De Wit opvroeg bij minister van Justitie Vincent Van Quickenborne (Open VLD). Bij de grotere gevangenissen was de situatie vorige maand het ernstigst in Gent (op 165 procent van de capaciteit), Dendermonde (163 procent) en Mechelen en Antwerpen (ongeveer 158 procent). Aan Franstalige kant is de druk vooral hoog in kleinere inrichtingen.
It’s funny how at the same time redditors and the general public keeps shouting that we don’t punish any criminals while our prisons are so incredibly overcrowded that we regularly get convicted by the European court of human rights for inhumane prison conditions.
Meanwhile Quickie wants to put even more people in jail.
Political propaganda.
We could start moving some of the hopeless criminals to “vergeetputten” for starters
Build more prisons then.
To solve this problem we only need to complete the regionalisation of the justice department and then privatise the jails.

Is it possible to increase the efficiency in prevention of crimes, instead of focusing in punishment?

I still see an empty chair on the picture?
