Reviewing and approving amnesty is strict and in accordance with regulations.

Prisoner NVL (right) actively works to reform.

Sentenced to 18 months in prison for violating road traffic regulations, after serving his sentence and actively reforming at the Detention Center (Provincial Police), prisoner NVL is about to receive the great joy of returning home earlier than the court's sentence.

Prisoner NVL shared: After 10 months of serving my sentence in the Detention Center, I clearly realized my mistakes. That day, after having fun, I drove while still drunk, causing an accident, seriously injuring one person. Although I immediately corrected the consequences, according to the law, I had to serve an 18-month prison sentence. I have strictly followed the regulations of the detention center, the rules of the cell, worked and reformed with peace of mind, and today I feel really lucky because I am eligible to be on the list of candidates for special pardon this time.

Immediately afterthe President 's amnesty decision, instructions from superiors and the Amnesty Advisory Council, the Detention Center (Provincial Police) has carried out preparations, organized propaganda, and disseminated regulations related to amnesty, through direct exchanges and posting the decision right at the cell door. From there, it helps prisoners better understand the process and voluntarily submit applications if they are eligible.

The President's 2025 amnesty decision is posted right on the prison cell door.

Also one of those considered for amnesty this time, prisoner V.D.N said: The camp management has guided and informed me specifically about the quotas and amnesty regulations, especially the new points. The brothers in the cells met and considered the criteria to elect those who had good rehabilitation and were qualified. Then the sub-camps reviewed and the Board of Supervisors approved to be included in the amnesty. During the rehabilitation process, I always complied with the rules and regulations of the sub-camp. I am very grateful to the Party and the State for having lenient policies so that we can soon return to our families and reintegrate into the community.

According to Decision No. 266/2025/QD-CTN (dated March 3, 2025) on amnesty, the President will grant early release to those sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or life imprisonment on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day on April 30 (1975-2025).

The conditions for this proposed amnesty are basically the same as in 2024, but more extensive. Specifically: Those sentenced to a fixed term of imprisonment must serve at least 1/3 of the time (1/2 of the time in 2024); 14 years for cases of life imprisonment that have been reduced to a fixed term of imprisonment (15 years in 2024). For prisoners with preferential circumstances such as medals, resistance medals, meritorious service, children of martyrs, etc., they must serve at least 1/4 of the time (1/3 of the time in 2024).

The remaining prison term considered and proposed for amnesty has also been increased compared to 2024: The remaining prison term is over 8 years (6 years in 2024) for those specified in Clause 1, Clause 2, Article 3 of the amnesty decision and over 10 years (8 years in 2024) for those specified in Clause 3, Clause 4, Article 3 of the amnesty decision.

Decision 266 also adds subjects that are not eligible for amnesty, such as: Crime of intentionally causing injury once to many people or many times to one person; crime of trafficking in women expands the scope of trafficking in many people from 2 people or more. Drug-related crimes are basically the same as amnesty in 2024, but separates the provisions on prison sentences of 3 years or less with the remaining prison term of more than 6 months, prison sentences of 3 years to 7 years with the remaining prison term of more than 1 year are not eligible for amnesty.

The Board of Supervisors of Detention Camps (Provincial Police) reviews cases eligible for special amnesty in 2025.

To ensure compliance with legal regulations, to approve the right subjects, not to miss out on ineligible subjects or to miss out on qualified cases, the Amnesty Review Subcommittee of the Detention Center has researched, assessed the records, compared each case with the conditions in the amnesty decision, to submit to the Provincial Police Amnesty Steering Subcommittee. After the review process, the Provincial Police agreed to propose to the Central Government 32 eligible cases out of 137 prisoners serving their sentences at the Detention Center.

Lieutenant Colonel Vu Xuan Truong, Captain of the Prisoner Management Sub-camp Team, Detention Camp (Provincial Police) said: While waiting for the decision, prison officers regularly propagate andeducate prisoners to be aware that if during the remaining sentence, there is a violation of the detention facility's regulations, the unit will also propose to remove that prisoner from the amnesty program this time.

To improve the effectiveness of education and sustainable rehabilitation, the Detention Center (Provincial Police) has organized vocational training classes for prisoners, especially those eligible for special pardon in 2025, to equip them with knowledge, vocational skills and issue practice certificates to give them a foundation when reintegrating into the community, becoming useful people for society.

Lieutenant Colonel Ha Giang , Warden of the Detention Camp (Provincial Police) emphasized: The unit has coordinated with localities to verify the level of impact on security and order of prisoners (if they return) before reviewing, and at the same time, has notified local police about cases of special pardon to do management work after reintegration. The unit's special pardon review work is carried out in the spirit of ensuring full and strict implementation, serious organization, publicity, transparency, caution, objectivity, no omissions, and within the prescribed time.
