According to the Prison Service’s latest forecast, the authority will need SEK 15.7 billion in 2025, which is twice as much as in 2014, when the figure was SEK 7.8 billion.
– It is various types of criminal policy reforms, various toughening of penalties and investments in the police that provide that development for us, says Björn Myrberg, director of finance and property at the Correctional Service.
The Correctional Service also believes that the development with an increase in inmates in custody and institutions will continue to increase in the future.
– We need another 1.1 billion by 2025, says Martin Holmgren, director general
at the Correctional Service.
