"Mr President, on behalf of the delegation of
allow me first of all to thank you for your work and to wish you all the best for the future. Now, our position is that in respect of the detention situation, what we need is not alleviation but, quite on the contrary, restriction. Here, I would like to introduce a new concept to the European Parliament, namely that of self-sufficient, self-sustaining prisons. After all, from a criminological standpoint the significance of prisons lies not only in isolating a criminal from society for a certain amount of time; they should also have a deterrent effect. It is therefore utterly perplexing that the Hungarian state, for example, spends between EUR 800 and EUR 900 a month on every prisoner.
In the meantime, the state spends only a fraction of that amount on kindergarteners or university or secondary school students. What is more, the salary of people on the minimum wage is also a fraction of that amount. The extent of this disproportionality is simply incomprehensible. In our opinion, detainees should, in certain cases, that is, in the majority of cases, come up with the costs of their detention themselves. This is what would be worth discussing here in the European Parliament in the future."@en1
