In connection with the lack of places in Swedish prisons in recent years, the number of people who go free pending placement in an institution has increased every year. Right now there are around 2600 people. Per month, there are around 500 more than in 2017, when there was plenty of space. This is shown by Ekot’s review.
Patrica Wigh had been buying ice cream when she was suddenly surrounded by some young guys in an alley in the Old Town of Stockholm:
– Then there was a guy who just picked up a gun that he kind of pressed so against my stomach because he does not want anyone else to see it either.
But Patricia screams and the robbers run from the scene. Two of the three were arrested by the police. It later turns out that one of them had already been sentenced to over a year in prison for a robbery under threat of arms against a young couple. But the prison sentence had not begun, despite the fact that almost six months had passed since the sentence became final on the day he tried to rob Patricia Wigh.
– The most terrible thing is that he, that he gets the freedom to ruin people’s lives, says Patricia Wigh.
