The Ukrainian Ministry of Justice now says it wants to sell and privatize 30 fully equipped prisons. Here, the Swedish Correctional Service has a fantastic opportunity to be able to solve the problem with its overcrowding and at the same time get away cheaply.

Because why couldn't gang criminals from the "local" be punished in Ukraine instead of Sweden? It would also provide good job opportunities for locally employed Ukrainian prison guards, who are not so inclined to pet the criminals in the way that happens with Swedish prison guards.

In addition, this would support the rebuilding of Ukraine's economy once the war has ended.

Let the sentence become a genuine aha experience for convicted gang criminals in Sweden and let them end up in rock-hard Ukrainian prisons instead of relaxed hotels with Playstations, gourmet meals and pampering.

Then the sentenced prisoners can be deported directly back to their home countries after serving their sentences. They never need to set foot in Sweden again.
