CRAP !!

The Netherlands ' crime rate is so low, it imports criminals to fill jails.

The Netherlands has enjoyed a steady drop in crime since 2004, and has become so safe that it has closed down one prison after another-19 prisons shut down in 2014 alone. To help mitigate the job losses that this has created, the Country has taken to importing prisoners from other countries, such as bringing in 240 prisoners from Norway in 2015.
