  • JO investigates institution – mail ended up wrong

    The Ombudsman for Justice has opened an investigation against the Correctional Service after a report of shortcomings at the Salberga institution in Sala, reports P4 Västmanland.

    The information came to the man via the staff.

    The man himself writes in a report that the information is sure to be spread in Salberga and that he therefore feels scared, worried and threatened.

  • Would really like to know what the reasons were that you removed Dustin and the chess duel. It was the page you looked forward to reading the most. Almost thinking about unsubscribing!

    Oskar Norlin

    Hello Oskar!

    Very sad to hear that you miss Dustin and the chess duel. The answer I received is that we constantly review the magazine’s content and costs. Now we have decided to remove the bridge and chess column as well as Dustin. We understand that the people who actually read them find it boring, but as an editor you have to make tough priorities all the time.

    Hope you can find something else you like in the magazine. Have a nice Sunday!
