Karas wants to make it easier for prisons. Highland thieves should no longer have to go behind bars
Currently, only theft over €266 is punishable. So if a person stole anything below that value, he or she did not face jail time. However, this was no longer the case if he was caught stealing anything small again in the last 12 months. In such a case, the judge could also send him to prison, which was often the case. In the European Union, Slovakia was second only to Lithuania, with 195 prisoners per 100 000 inhabitants, in 2020, with 216 prisoners per 100 000 inhabitants.
