The Tidö parties want to solve the lack of places in Swedish prisons by renting places abroad. The plan is criticized by researcher Linda Kjaer Minke at the University of Southern Denmark, who has studied the results in other countries.
She claims that it does not solve the problem in the long term. In addition, it is difficult to guarantee that the inmates are not subjected to torture or degrading treatment, according to Linda Kjaer Minke.
Fredrik Kärrholm, Member of Parliament for the Moderates, emphasizes, however, that they want to send prisoners to other EU countries, which have a common set of regulations.
