I mean, if they arrest Eastern Europeans then what are they going to do? Get prison wards to learn a bunch of Slav/Russian dialects? True, did not think about that. Was more thinking about natives speaking one of the native languages. If I would get arrested anywhere in the world, I would want my country to try everything to get me back home and be prosecuted there. If I would get arrested at home, I would want the prison staff to speak the official language of my country. Maybe there is an opportunity here to make Dutch the official language of prisons and in consequence the official language of crime :D
