Waiting time for psychiatric prison rises

People sentenced to psychiatric prison (tbs) have to wait an average 261 days to start their treatment, news agency ANP reports on Tuesday.


In 2007, the waiting time was an average 214 days.
Nevertheless, the number of people on the waiting list has gone down from 214 in 2005 to 120 last year, ANP said, quoting justice ministry figures.
