Majority set to pass more use of ankle bracelets instead of short prison sentences
A parliamentary majority is ready to support a bill by the D66 and CDA to allow judges to sentence people to house arrest with an ankle monitor for minor offenses. According to MPs Joost Sneller (D66) and Jeltje Straatman (CDA), this will help solve the cell shortage without having to release people earlier, RTL Nieuws reports.
Judges must be given the option of not sending convicted criminals to prison, but instead confining them at home with an ankle monitor. A majority of the House of Representatives supports the 'smarter sentencing' private member's bill by MPs Joost Sneller (D66) and Jeltje Straatman (CDA), which was sent to the House today.
