During the event were discussed the current situation with the application of the institute of conditional release and were shared the challenges, problems and proposed solutions on the topic by stakeholders from the various institutions that are part of the process.

All participants reached a common agreement that more frequent use of probation and conditional release with protective supervision is needed as effective tools for reducing prison overcrowding, while simultaneously achieving effective sanctioning and the possibility of resocialization and reintegration.
