Original: haftbefehl
Germany's Interior Ministry says more than 148,000 arrest warrants are currently open across the country, most of them for minor offences such as fare evasion. The figures have renewed debate about whether prisons are too full and whether petty offenders should be jailed at all. Commentators are questioning enforcement capacity and calling for alternatives to custody.
Why now: The Interior Ministry's release of the figures has sparked fresh debate over prison overcrowding and how minor offences are punished.
