Hungarian prison inmates are ramping up their production of razor wire, working around the clock as Hungary prepares to build a second fence on the border with Serbia to keep out refugees and other migrants.
The razor wire manufacturing at the prison in Marianosztra, northern Hungary, has increased from two shifts earlier this year, to three. Besides its domestic use, Hungary has also sold or donated fence elements, including wire and steel posts, to other countries in the region, including Slovenia and Macedonia.
"The inmates are manufacturing razor wire in three shifts a day, with 13 inmates in each shift producing the wire," Lt. Tamas Szep, the prison's press officer, said Wednesday. "The capacity of the plant is around 100 wire spools per day, which is heavily influenced by the fact that most of the work is done by hand."
Human rights organizations consider Hungary's fences erected last year as the first step in efforts by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government to dismantle the country's asylum system.
Hungary's Helsinki Committee says the fence, the closure of asylum centers and other measures are destroying the asylum system.
"The asylum system, over the past year, has been basically emptied of its capacity to provide protection," said Helsinki Committee co-chair Marta Pardavi. "There is a clear policy of zero migration, of zero refugees coming to Hungary."

Naw....we want to give Americans jobs.
If fences don’t work take the ones down at Chapiqua and the White House first!!
Why hasn’t the UN fixed Syria? Iraq? Libya? Sudan? “Palistine”? That’s the proper solution.
Excellent!
Keep out the “migrants”. i. e. terrorists from the Middle East coming to Europe to destroy it and the people in it.
That would be an EXCELLENT use of already-paid-for-by-the-taxpayer prison manpower when we build the wall between us and Meh-hico!
Makes me wonder if we don't see a shift in "un-balkanization" in Europe's future.
Never know when you're gonna have to circle the wagons...
Arpaio has work gangs ready to go nearby
For most of them, if they work on it from the South side, they’ll be home when the wall is finished. Just take 2 steps back...
Fences seem to work in every country around the world except the US.
