Hello guys.
On British news today (in particular the LBC news) there is information that Estonia is looking into renting out their prison spaces. Allegedly as your prisons are relatively empty, and ours is packed the UK government is looking into sending our prisoners to you. I have to admit as someone from the Baltics I see this as an issue. It would hurt me if Latvia did the same considering the horrible state of UK right now. 10,074 knife crimes in London to date THIS YEAR. Another issue I see is that convicts family would most likely have to visit and might not be of good character as well as I am not sure what would happen at the end of the prison term? Surely there are more risks than rewards? What do you think ?

Do you support taking on UK criminals in Estonia ?

I doubt the convicts familys will make the trip here, it is not that cheap. And if their term ends, they will go back to britain.
Yeah, if those people would be released in Estonia then that idea would be fucked. Visiting could also be a problem, did not think about it. What if terrorist Muhammed is visited by his brother, also an Islamist…sounds like “tourists” I don’t want to see
Not a great idea, the logistics of it alone would be mindfuck.
