In 2009 the Dutch justice ministry announced that it will close eight prisons and cut 1,200 jobs in the prison system, due to the decrease in crime in the country. In order to somehow save their beautiful prisons, the Dutch government is inviting foreign criminals into them. For example, last year 500 Belgian inmates were invited. The Netherlands would get 30 million euros in the deal, and it will allow the closing of the prisons in Rotterdam and Veenhuizen to be postponed until 2012.
