Estonia will lease space at Tartu Prison to Sweden and accept up to 600 inmates. The draft legislation has been sent to the parliament. Estonian Office of the Chancellor of Justice and Internal Security Service emphasise the risks that placing foreign prisoners in Estonia may bring. Estonian state plans to use the S-Wing of Tartu Prison, which has 350 places across 175 cells. Swedish offenders will be convicted of crimes against the person or drug crimes. Estonia hopes to generate at least β¬30 million in additional revenue through the agreement. Most of the incidents reported were in Lesser Poland, Silesia and Lublin Voivodeships. Local officials said the storm flooded properties, basements and depressions in the ground. In Poland, around 10% of the population lives in flood-prone areas.
