“Imprisoned persons are given will have to wait longer on punishment,”

“It is crowded in the country’s prisons, the occupancy rate is up in the 97 to 100 percent. Now has the prison service decided to extend the time the condemned have to start serving their sentences, from 50 days to 75, for those who are not detained, reports SVT.”

“– It creates a bit of oxygen in the system, but we believe that it will end again very quickly. Then we need to look at long-term solutions to systematise a queueing system with significantly longer waiting times than the months, then we are talking maybe years, “says Nils Öberg, director-general of the prison service, to the SVT”

“Erik Åkerlund, lokalpolisområdeschef in Botkyrka, believe that there is a risk that they are doomed to continue to commit crimes, something you’ve seen examples of it. Sven-Erik Alhem, president of the crime victim support call the year-long waiting times reprehensible.”

“– An early enforcement is important to highlight the fact the importance. Also from the offender’s point of view, it is wrong to go and wait on to serve his punishment.”
