Riigikogu passes law allowing Estonian prison space to be rented to other countries
The Riigikogu on Wednesday approved amendments to the law allowing prisoners from foreign countries to be housed in Estonian prisons. A vote on ratifying a prison agreement with Sweden will also take place during Wednesday's sitting.
Estonia's parliament, the Riigikogu, has passed a new law that permits the country to rent out prison space to other nations. This legislative change opens the door for Estonia to house foreign inmates within its correctional facilities. A related vote on a prison cooperation agreement with Sweden is also scheduled for the same parliamentary session.
This law allows Estonia to generate revenue and potentially alleviate overcrowding in its own prison system by accommodating prisoners from other countries.
