In Belgium, judges and prosecutors went to jail to check on conditions.

September 20, 2022

The Belgian Ministry of Justice decided to conduct an experiment - 55 prosecutors and judges sat in a new prison in Brussels for a while to test the conditions of detention and feel like prisoners. It is expected that after that they will issue more reasonable sentences. While the new 1200-seat prison has not yet opened, there are no real criminals in it. The guards treat prosecutors and judges like real prisoners. The conditions of their stay are as close to real as possible.
