Senior prisoners to be freed

About 2,000 inmates who are too old or sick to care for themselves will be released from Sichuan prisons during next year. According to Shanghai Daily this is due to humanitarian reasons, as well as to reduce expenses. Prisoners whose families are unable to care for them will be sent to homes for the aged.
