The rehabilitation organisation, Criminals Return into Society (CRIS), has warned that the smoking ban will create trouble among prisoners who are suddenly denied access to drugs and for whom smoking provides the only semblance of a soft landing.
"It's going to be really hard for prisoners not to smoke if they've just quit drugs, alcohol and crime," CRIS spokesman Christer Karlsson told The Local.
Stockholm, from a special correspondent.
The Swedish Society for Neo-Liberal Economics has proposed the creation of a prison market -- in effect, a bubble placed over each prison in which the inmates can trade "shares" in various prohibited activities.
"Rather than this command and control sort of regulation, true rehab would involve prisoners making choices about preferred transgressions and selling the less desired ones to others with different utility curves!" said the leader of the group, Sven Svenson.
"What a great fucking idea!" said supporters in the Ametrican Enterprise Institute.
