Denmark to Rent Overseas Jail in Kosovo to Provide Enough Room for Its Prisoners - Sputnik

Denmark is close to making an agreement with the authorities in Kosovo to rent an entire prison with room for 300 prisoners, Danish Radio has reported. There, deported criminals will be sent to serve out their sentences.
This is part of a concluded agreement between the government, numerous opposition parties representing both wings of the spectrum and the Danish Prison and Probation Service. 

Danish prisons are predicted to lack up to 1,000 prison places by 2025, and the agreement is designed to solve these problems.

“One of the advantages of doing this is that they do not have to be re-socialised to return to society, because they don't have to be in Denmark afterwards. Therefore, we can conveniently move this entire group so that they serve in another place,” Socialist Democrat Justice Minister Nick Hækkerup told Danish Radio.
