警告称,为缓解过度拥挤,未来一个月拟释放的2000名罪犯面临收容所床位短缺。数百名囚犯定于周四提前出狱,但许多人将无处可住,缓刑系统也将难以有效监管。
Warning of a lack of hostel places for 2,000 criminals due to be released over the next month to ease overcrowding Hundreds of prisoners are due to be released early from jail on Thursday amid warnings that many will have nowhere to live and the probation system will struggle to monitor them.
未来一个月将释放约2000名罪犯,其中包括家暴者和暴力犯罪者,未来一年将分阶段再释放3000人以缓解过度拥挤。在首相安迪·伯纳姆干预后,释放人数已从6000人减少。
About 2,000 criminals including domestic abusers and violent offenders are to be freed over the next month, with another 3,000 in stages over the next year to ease overcrowding. The number was reduced from 6,000 after an intervention by the prime minister, Andy Burnham.
