The Council decided to reduce the prison sentence of the 30 prisoners who had served enough time as required by law, had made much progress, did not violate the prison's regulations and rules, and were classified as having good or fair rehabilitation. The Council's records for the reduction of sentences were closely reviewed and followed the procedures prescribed by law.
At the decision announcement ceremony, the leaders of the Provincial Police Detention Center advised the prisoners whose sentences were reduced early to return to their localities and families to work honestly, become useful people to society, and strictly comply with the law.
At the same time, we hope that prisoners whose sentences have not been reduced this time will continue to reform well to soon enjoy the leniency policy of the Party and State in the next sentence reduction review.

Sentence reduction and early release demonstrate the humane and lenient policy of the Party and State towards prisoners who repent, reform, and have a good record of labor and reform.
Through this, we encourage prisoners who are being reformed and serving their sentences to study hard, practice, and reform well to have their sentences reduced, return to their families soon, and integrate into the community.
