英国政府推出新规则，授予法官更广泛的权力对那些拒绝出席量刑庭审的罪犯进行额外处罚1。新措施将在明年生效，包括剥夺最长84天的监狱特权、禁闭最长21天、限制社交访问27天以及将探视限制在每4周一次、持续84天1。对于18至20岁的年轻罪犯，处罚力度相对较轻，特权剥夺最长21天或禁闭最长10天1。
英格兰和威尔士监狱部长Catherine McKinnell表示："罪犯不应该能够选择何时面对正义"1。被害人专员Claire Waxman指出，新措施反映了被害人家属的"不懈努力"1。
The British government has introduced new rules granting judges expanded powers to impose additional penalties on offenders who refuse to appear at their sentencing hearings.1 The measures include stripping prison privileges for up to 84 days, solitary confinement for up to 21 days, restricting social visits for 27 days, and limiting all visits to once every four weeks for 84 days.1 Young offenders aged 18 to 20 face stricter limits, with privilege removal capped at 21 days or solitary confinement at 10 days maximum.1
The new rules are set to take effect next year and aim to ensure that criminals face justice and show respect to victims and their families.1 Catherine McKinnell, the Minister for Prisons in England and Wales, stated that "criminals should not be able to choose when to face justice."1 Victims' Commissioner Claire Waxman endorsed the initiative, indicating that the new measures reflect the "tireless efforts" of victims' families.1 The policy comes as approximately 2,000 prisoners were released this month as part of the government's plan to ease prison overcrowding.1
