After it becomes clear that after Belgian detainees also Norwegian detainees will be locked up in the Netherlands, the French public broadcaster France2 comes to the Netherlands to film for a news reportage about the Dutch jail system.
The goal of the reportage is to find out why the Dutch close so many jails and still have loads of empty cells and to see what the differences are with the French jail system.
The filming takes place in a jail in the city Dordrecht. The jail director, the head of the rehabilitation department and an inmate are interviewed. It becomes clear that the Dutch treat prisoners like human beings and prepare them as well as possible for life after imprisonment by offering courses and education and giving them restricted access to internet to find housing and jobs for the period after their release.
For this production Featurez gave advice, did the research, setup and planning of the filming, organise the filming in the jail, accompany the filming and translations.
