Germany refuses to extradite Albanian 'drug trafficker' to UK citing inhumane conditions in British jails

Due to the situation of British jails, Germany has refused to extradite an Albanian accused drug trafficker to the UK. The higher regional court in Karlsruhe, southwest Germany, ruled that the man's extradition request was "inadmissible" due to concerns that he would face harsh or degrading treatment in a British jail. The ruling is odd given that UK extradition barristers regularly criticize Indian prisons, claiming overcrowding and prisoner violence to urge UK judges not to transfer people from the UK to India.
