Many of these want to return to their hometown when the duty year is completed, and this causes the throughput to be large. Of course, this is not a desirable situation.

Sørensen writes that they are still missing more prison educators, but that today it looks better staffing than in 2023. That they have had so many vacancies have led them to have been dependent on having many duty year officers to make it go around. – Many of these do not have a right to the district, and for that reason we lose them at the end of the duty year. But this year, two of them have chosen to be, and they have added a new one for the summer. She also adds that they have added several temporary workers. Published 30.04.2025, at. 19.21
