Andy Burnham is facing an unprecedented(史无前例的) mass call(大规模呼吁) from police chiefs to block(阻止,阻塞) the early release of PC Andrew Harper’s killers, as unions warned his emergency plan to create more space in jails risk(使……冒险,冒……风险)ed causing confusion or leading to prisoners being freed by mistake(错误地,无意中).
安迪·伯纳姆正面临来自警察负责人的前所未有的集体呼吁,要求阻止提前释放杀害警官安德鲁·哈珀的凶手。与此同时,工会警告称,他提出的增加监狱空间的紧急计划可能导致混乱,或造成囚犯被错误释放。
A letter signed by 50 police leaders across the UK, including every chief constable(警察局长) in England and Wales, called on(呼吁,号召) the prime minister to do everything in his power(在他能力范围内) to stop the killers benefiting from a programme designed to free up(腾出,空出) prison space, saying there was “a profound strength of feeling(强烈的情绪) across policing” that this should not happen.
一封由英国各地50名警察负责人签署的信件,其中包括英格兰和威尔士的所有警察局长,呼吁首相尽其所能阻止凶手从旨在腾出监狱空间的计划中受益,信中称“整个警务界存在强烈的情绪”,认为这种情况不应发生。
Burnham said earlier he recognised(认识到,承认) “the depth of public concern” about the proposed(提议的,拟议的) early release of Harper’s killers and announced a change to the early release scheme(计划,方案), intended to exclude(排除,不包括) prisoners convicted(被定罪的) of the most serious offences by freeing up new prison places.
伯纳姆早些时候表示,他认识到公众对拟议提前释放哈珀凶手的“深切担忧”,并宣布对提前释放计划进行修改,旨在通过腾出新的监狱空间来排除被判犯有最严重罪行的囚犯。
