It is amazing that none of the political parties ever mentioned, in their electoral manifestos, the construction of a prison much larger than the one we have at present. Millions of euros are spent yearly on projects that are hardly as vital as a prison that has a capacity to cope with the demand. Adequate funds should be no problem.

I also believe that the authorities act too leniently with certain criminals. The handing out of suspended sentences, sentences which are ridiculously low, fines and, sometimes, also amnesties all lead one to suspect that there is a dire need for the implementation of this project.
