What systemic factors contributed to the current crisis in the Basque prison system?

The understaffing crisis, exacerbated by a 2021 staff reduction of 18 and an overall 295-worker deficit compared to the approved staffing plan, stems from increased inmate population (1,779 currently). The Basque government's response of hiring temporary workers and authorizing massive overtime (55,000 hours in 2023 and 30,000 projected for 2024) has failed to resolve the situation, prompting a week-long strike by the ELA union.
