Criza închisorilor se adâncește în Europa. Marea Britanie eliberează mai devreme mii de deținuți, iar România are și ea probleme de supraaglomerare

European prison systems are under increasing pressure, with the UK resorting to early release of certain inmates to alleviate overcrowding. Prisons in England and Wales operated at nearly full capacity, prompting the government to adjust release rules for less serious offenders. New regulations allow for earlier release after serving a third of their sentence. However, this has sparked backlash from victim advocacy groups concerned about public safety. The UK also faces staffing shortages and rising demands on probation services, leading to a significant government investment. The issue of prison overcrowding is not unique to the UK, as many European countries report similar challenges, with varying levels of inmate density across nations.
