greenland intends to construct a secure facility to house prisoners needing continual supervision and/or psychiatric care, with a 20-bed capacity, a project on foot since 2007 which has been delayed several times until 2017. as a consequence, greenlandic prisoners requiring a high level of supervision are sent to denmark's herstedvester, a prison which has the capacity to provide psychiatric care. there remains ongoing issues with care in this facility, with complaints ranging from the language barrier with danish guards, to the danish system de-prioritising greenlandic inmates care and rehabilitation against the needs of danish inmates, to the problematic means of nuuk's judicial evaluation of the prisoners through skype teleconferencing.
