Oh THIS is primo stuff, must-see-to-believe.

Netherlands to close prisons for lack of criminals

e_prisons_for_lack_of_criminals

During the 1990s the Netherlands faced a shortage of prison cells, but a decline in crime has since led to overcapacity in the prison system. The country now has capacity for 14,000 prisoners but only 12,000 detainees.

Deputy justice minister Nebahat Albayrak announced on Tuesday that eight prisons will be closed, resulting in the loss of 1,200 jobs. Natural redundancy and other measures should prevent any forced lay-offs, the minister said.

The overcapacity is a result of the declining crime rate, which the ministry's research department expects to continue for some time.

Golly Gee, when you don't make EVERYTHING a goddamn crime - you have less and less criminals!

Who'da thunk it ?

Damned socialists have obviously gone soft on crime!

Keep the Shiny side up

Could we ship them the guys at Gitmo? We'd resolve our problem with what to do with the detainees, and the Dutch could keep their prison guards employed. Sounds like win-win to me.

LOL

El Chapo means Shorty.

Maybe we're finally going to get the good sequel to Get Shorty that we've been waiting for for so long!
