(Hürriyet Newspaper, 26 December 2025)


























             Plenty of replacements are awaiting their turn.

The 11th Judicial Reform Package was passed into law by the 
Parliament yesterday. Those convicted of crimes committed on or 
before July 31, 2023, will be able to benefit from supervised release 
rights three years early. Thus, 50,000 releases are expected in the first
phase (!). This right will not apply to terrorism and organized crime, 
tragic murders targeting family members or disabled individuals, 
sexual assault and abuse, and killings resulting from earthquakes.

Convicts who are in closed correctional facilities for crimes committed 
on or before July 31, 2023, and whose total prison sentence is less than
10 years, have served 1 month in these facilities; if their sentence is 
10 years or more, have served 3 months, and have 3 years or less 
remaining before being transferred to open correctional facilities 
according to the relevant legislation, may be transferred to open 
correctional facilities. These convicts, as well as convicts in open 
correctional facilities for crimes committed on or before 
July 31, 2023, may, upon request and provided they have served at 
least 3 months in an open correctional facility, benefit from the 
application of supervised release measures 3 years earlier.
