Netherlands Closing Prisons

The Netherlands is closing 8 prisons, eliminating 1,200 corrections jobs -- http://www.nrc.nl/international/article2246821.ece/Netherlands_to_close_pris -- due to declining crime rates(!) and the economic crisis.

If crime continues to decline, the nation will have to choose between closing even more prisons, versus housing imported Belgian prisoners. California is to Belgium as Arizona is to the Netherlands?!
