In what would be first, two cantons may build a joint prison.
Politicians in Jura and Geneva are proposing a new prison should be built in canton Jura - jointly funded by both.
Members of the Liberal Party say Geneva prisons are overcrowded, but the canton lacks the space for a new one. But Jura has the space - and the need - as the current facility, based in an old castle, is out of date.
It's not unusual that cantons pay others to house their prisoners - but there is not a jointly operated prison in the country.
