"The humanity of amnesty is not only demonstrated through the early release of prisoners, but also reflected in the entire process of implementing and preparing for amnesty, in which the role of prisons, including Thanh Xuan prison, is very important," Deputy Minister Dang Hoang Giang emphasized.

The Board of Directors and officers of Thanh Xuan Prison have made great efforts to complete the processing of a large number of files in a short time, completing the assigned tasks. Thanh Xuan Prison has deployed propaganda and dissemination to all prisoners, including ethnic minority prisoners who are not fluent in Mandarin, to ensure that everyone knows and understands this humanitarian policy of the Party and State and to ensure that no cases eligible for special pardon are left out. Thanh Xuan Prison has also reported to the inspection team on some remaining problems in the implementation process and proposed directions for reporting to competent authorities for consideration so that the special pardon work can be implemented more effectively.
