We cannot just release all women when they are committing serious offences According to the publication inmates who meet the following criterion were supposed to be released: People not found guilty of the specified offences that generally cover crimes of violence Women prisoners who have served at least half their effective sentence Juvenile prisoners who have served a third Those sentenced to 36 months or less who have served half Those over 70 who have served half.
