COPENHAGEN, Denmark – The Denmark government has arranged funding for a plan to send foreign criminals to a tiny Island in  Lindholm.

Despite the opposition of the UN and other parties, the plan is to be implemented.

Denmark is taking a tough stance in terms of immigration, and plans to send up to 100 people who have ended their jail sentences yet cannot be deported due to the risk of execution or torture in their homeland.

This will be a center for criminals who have been convicted on cases of rape, murder, and other offenses.

The center is to be established in 2021, and the allocated budget is £92m or 759 million krone.

Most of the foreign criminals who cannot be deported are currently detained in Jutland, Denmark.

Jutland residents expressed that they feel unsafe despite the police claiming that the crime rate has not risen.

The residents in Kalvehave, from where the ferry to Lindholm departs, are also worried about their town’s future as they heavily depend on tourism.

The plan is to let criminals leave the island at daytime, but they have to inform the authorities of their whereabouts and return to the center at night.
