限られた数の刑務官で増える受刑者を監視することは難しくなる。それでいて予算の削減圧力も強い。法務省も手を打っている。収容率は2000年代半ばには110%を超えていたが、近年では各刑務所における収容棟の増築や新設PFI 刑務所(民営刑務所)の運営、受刑者総数の減少に伴い収容率は改善、100%を切るに至っている。しかしこれはあくまで平均である。刑期が長い服役囚や女子受刑者の施設は過剰収容の状態が継続している。さらに広島刑務所は収容分類級が幅広く、刑務官にも多様な人材が必要とされる

Translation

It is not an easy task observing ever-increasing inmates with a limited number of prison guards. Additionally, there is a strong pressure of budgetary cutback. The Ministry of Justice has already taken a measure. The housing rate of inmates had hit 110% in the middle of year 2000, but it has now been reduced to less than 100% after some extensions of inmates' accomodation buildings at all prisons, operation of newly built PFI prisons (private prisons), and also the improvement in the housing rate due to the decrease in total number of inmates in recent years. However, this is just an average standard. Facilities for convicts who are serving long-term sentences and female inmates are continually having an overcrowding issue. Additionally, the Hiroshima Penitentiary is known to have a wide range of housing ranks. This means they require many different types of prison guard resources.

人数だけの問題ではない。裁判員制度が始まり、今まで市民に知られることが少なかった刑事司法の世界が徐々に明らかになっている。今回の脱走事件を刑務所の監視体制の問題に帰着させるのは、この制度導入以前の認識でしかない。刑務所の社会復帰予定者の過剰収容という課題をどのように考え、対処していくのかが市民も建設的に議論する必要がある。伝統的な非収容型の刑罰と早期釈放制度の拡充ももっと検討されてよい。これも、もちろん、予算次第である。刑事事件はもはやニュースとして消費されるだけではない。

Translation

It is not just a problem of the number of people. The citizen judge system began in Japan, and the once-unknown world of criminal justice is gradually made clear. Logically concluding the escape incident as a problem of the prison's monitoring system is nothing but just a recognition before the citizen judge system came in effect. The general public need to discuss constructively about the opinions on the overcrowding problem of the inmates who are waiting to return to the society and also on how this problem shall be dealt with. Also, expansion of the traditional non-housing punishment and the early release system shall be considered further. These, of course, depend on the budgets. Criminal cases should no longer be consumed just as news stories.
