Description
Kosovo and Denmark agree on a deal for the Scandinavian country to rent 300 jail cells for an annual fee of 15 million euros to ease overcrowding in the kingdom's prison estate. Last week, Copenhagen indicated that the prisoners sent to Kosovo will be foreigners subject to deportation after serving their sentences. Since 2015, the prison population in Denmark jumped nearly 20 percent and the number of prison guards dropped by the same proportion, causing issues with overcrowding. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
