Actually, we deny requests quite often for various reasons from all kind of countries. Only except is the EU where there are special agreements in place. I think we would’ve delievered in the UK if the police station named a prison where he would’ve been gotten in. So I put that on the reluctant communication by the Manchester police station on a large degree.
As for German jails, putting aside some events like someone burning to death despite being completely restrained and the police saying “oh wow, no idea how that happened. Probably magic.” we solve overcrowding by letting people with minor offenses go. Although statewise, specifically looking at Berlin, it’s getting pretty bad.
Yeah, I mean, they had time and decided to reply at the last day.
Also, they could’ve just said, that they don’t know and can’t know or will get back to with a time extension. There is a lot of solutions to this. Instead they just ignored the request.
Thinking about it a little more I don’t understand how Germany expects the police to be able to provide this information.
Which prison he gets assigned to will depend largely on prison availability at the time of conviction. We don’t know how long the trail is going to last, so there’s no way to know this information.
It just seems like everyone involved is trying to be as awkward as possible.
So, the point of pressure was that a lot of British jails are overcrowded and the Manchester police replied as to the place as “metropolian London”, which includes a the 160% allocated Wandsworth jail. The German authories asked what specific jail so they’re sure that it’s not Wandsworth and the Manchester police just never replied anything to that.
Germany was asking for guarantees that the prisoner wouldn’t be send to an inhumane jail and the UK wouldn’t give a guarantee.
This is a normal process for Germany when it comes to non-EU countries.

I bet the Manchester police station don’t actually know where he’ll be sent. Police don’t actually assign people prisons. That’s an admin task.
I’m sure they could find out if they really needed to, and then reply with that information, but they just don’t seem that interested in doing so.

I just looked it up in German media.

Odd how quickly this instance became “like the other platform,” isn’t it?
