Starts 48-hour strike by prison staff
Just last week there was a fun action at the prison in Bruges. The unions denounce overcrowding. This causes frustrated detainees and aggression.
There were still consultations between the unions and the Justice cabinet on Tuesday, but this did not result in any short-term solutions.
Prisoners are also protesting
In the prison in Bruges, about thirty prisoners also protested on Sunday afternoon against overcrowding in the cells. They refused to come back inside after the walk, which ended at 4 p.m.
