Danish term or phrase: Foranstaltning
Relating to the way prisons function:

Den seneste opdatering af Kriminalloven i Grønland har givet mulighed for at idømme foranstaltninger i et lukket regi, hvilket har givet udfordringer i de gamle anstalter, der er bygget til åbne foranstaltninger.

Behovet for en ændret tilgang opstod med lovændringen fra åbne anstalter til lukkede og mere restriktive foranstaltningsmuligheder
Michael Purvis
English translation:régime; system
Explanation:
régime vs. the dictionary definition of arrangement works with open and closed (anstalter > institutions)

I discern 2 main problems: the régime double-uo with (i) et lukket regi (in a closed system) and 'mere restriktive foranstaltningsmuligheder', namely try straitjacketing into more restrictive régime alternatives or turn around to alternative régimes.

PS Having read literature - prefaced by Magnus Magnusson - on Greenland over 30 years ago, I - having experienced a closed British boarding school 'system' - am somewhat surprised to see that there is now such a level of crime on the island continent to warrant these custodial 'measures'.
