The government is struggling to maintain staffing levels for probation officers, which is critical as nearly 5,500 prisoners are set for early release in upcoming months.
A senior official stated that probation staff are under intense pressure from workloads, particularly with the urgent needs for pre-release procedures for those being freed under SDS40.
Napo's national official emphasized the need for the government to understand the reasons behind officer attrition, citing inadequate pay as a significant factor.
The crisis in the justice system, according to a Napo official, stems from years of budget cuts and demands immediate investment in probation services.
