Prisoners of the Netherlands were outraged by the too easy regime in the penitentiary institutions of the country. It is reported by The Independent. Under the new rules, prisoners are handed out the keys to the cells, and they can freely leave them with the condition to return before 21:30 local time. "There is very little supervision of them. Prisoners can do what they want without any observation. The problem is that they can conduct their dark affairs, talk without interruption. And it's easier to trade with drugs, "said Rob Minks, chairman of the working council of the penitentiary department.

According to him, experiments to provide prisoners with greater freedom gradually spread to the whole country, but there is no scientific basis for this. In Holland, there were only 11.6 thousand prisoners for 17 million people - because of this many prisons had to close. In addition, in September 2016, the country's authorities brought 240 convicts from Norway to provide the remaining prisons.
