The Council for Review of Prison Sentence Reduction has decided to reduce the prison sentences of 31 prisoners. Of these, 11 prisoners had their entire prison sentences reduced, and 20 prisoners had their prison sentences reduced by 2 to 6 months.

These prisoners all have a good rehabilitation process, strictly complying with discipline, rules and regulations during their sentence. This is a condition and opportunity for prisoners to quickly reintegrate into the community, live a useful life for their families and society, and is also a premise for other prisoners to strive to reform well to enjoy the leniency policy of the Party and the State in the next reductions of prison terms.

At the ceremony, the Warden of the Provincial Police Detention Center handed over decisions to the prisoners whose prison sentences were reduced, and completed the procedures for them to return home early to celebrate Tet with their families and relatives./.
