Almost 300 prisoners sleep on the ground, Verlinden comes with plan to create 2,037 new places

Almost 300 prisoners sleep on the ground in our country due to lack of space. This is evident from the most recent population figures that the Belga press agency could view. It is a peak. Moreover, 13,062 people stay in the prisons, while there is only room for 11,040. The news is coming just now that Minister of Justice Annelies Verlinden (CD&V) announces to create 2,037 new places in prisons by 2030.
