Dutch jail system |
|
After it becomes clear that after Belgian detainees also Norwegian detainees will be locked up in the Netherlands, the French public broadcaster France2 comes to the Netherlands to film for a reportage about Dutch jails. The goal of the reportage is to find out why the Dutch close so many jails and still have loads of empty cells and to see what the differences are with the French jails. The filming takes place in the Dordrecht jail. The jail director, the head of the rehabilitation department and an inmate are interviewed. It becomes clear that the Dutch treat prisoners like human beings and prepare them as well as possible for life after imprisonment by offering courses and education, including certificates, and giving them restricted access to internet to find housing and jobs.
Activities: research, set-up, planning, organise filming in a jail, accompany filming and translations.
