Overcrowding no issue for prisons in he Netherlands, who are now renting out space to other countries

The video explores the Dutch prison system, highlighting its unique approach to incarceration compared to England. Dutch prisons focus on rehabilitation, offering inmates more freedom and responsibility, which has led to a decrease in reoffending rates. The system emphasizes alternative punishments for minor offenses, such as fines and community service, reducing the need for incarceration. As a result, many prisons have closed, and some even rent space to other countries. The video suggests that the UK could learn from the Dutch model to address its overcrowded and ineffective prison system.
