Specifically, the number of prisoners reduced from life to 30 years: 5 prisoners; The number of prisoners proposed to be reduced completely: 28 prisoners; The number of prisoners reduced from 1 month to 28 months is 1,146 prisoners.

The prisoners whose sentences were reduced on the occasion of National Day, September 2, all met the conditions to serve their sentences; had a progressive reform process; complied well with the regulations of the prison, temporary detention camp, and temporary detention house; actively studied and did reform labor...

Chairman of the Sentence Reduction Council, Comrade Tran Ngoc Son - Chief Justice of Nghe An Provincial People's Court said that reducing the term of imprisonment is a humane policy of our Party and State, specified in the Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Law on Enforcement of Criminal Judgments, to acknowledge the efforts and attempts to reform prisoners. Thereby, encouraging and creating conditions for those who have made mistakes to have the opportunity to reintegrate into the community to rebuild their lives, strive and train to become useful people for society.

The reduction of the prison sentence for prisoners is also a motivation for other prisoners to strive to work and reform well to enjoy the leniency policy of the Party and the State in the next periods. However, the Council, based on the provisions of the law, in addition to accepting the reduction proposed by the Prisons, also cuts or lowers the sentence reduction for prisoners with criminal records, or prisoners who have not completed civil compensation, arrears, and support. The Prisons propose a high reduction... so it should be reduced so that prisoners have more probation time.
