Prisons Trial Day Release Program

Prisons are getting a major overhaul as the justice ministry pushes a bold new plan to tackle overcrowding and staffing shortages: inmates could work outside during the day—tagged and back by sunset. The government’s “action plan” aims to expand day-release eligibility while slashing support services for short-sentence prisoners. Though this isn’t the first time such ideas have surfaced, a new 75-million-euro boost won’t cut it—prison officials say hundreds of millions more are needed to keep people locked up. If that’s not enough, early release could extend to those serving up to two years. It’s a high-stakes gamble to balance safety with space—and staffing.
