A proposal to release certain prisoners serving indefinite sentences has sparked fresh concerns over prison overcrowding and public safety. The suggestion, made by the prime minister, aims to create additional space within the prison system but has drawn criticism from law enforcement and advocacy groups. Officials warn that such measures could undermine rehabilitation efforts and raise questions about the fairness of sentencing policies. The debate highlights tensions between managing prison populations and maintaining justice standards.
The warning comes after the prime minister said some prisoners serving indefinite sentences could be freed to increase prison capacity.
