While liberal bleeding hearts are horrified that US President Donald J. Trump is planning on sending as many as 30k criminal illegal aliens to prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the trend of displacing the most dangerous elements threatening societies is already widely taking shape in Europe.
Sometimes, as in the UK in Rwanda and Italy in Albania, the process is euphemistically called ‘processing centers’ for ‘asylum seekers.’
But now, it arises that the conservative government of Sweden plans to send criminals to serve their sentences in prisons abroad.

“Mattias Wahlstedt, head of the commission, said there were no legal obstacles to Sweden renting prison slots abroad but that a proposal to that end would have to pass parliament first.”
