I am sticking with E
C and D aren't clear because of "they" and have some other issues
B -> "permitted for judges to..." is kind of awkward... because "permit X to Y" is an idiom, so should be "permit judges and officials to..."
A and E are very close, but "their" in A could refer to the judges and officers or offenders... E clears it up
C and D aren't clear because of "they" and have some other issues

Going with E
A: Who does "their" refer to? In addition, "as to their" is awkward.
B: Who does "their" refer to? In addition, "as to their" is awkward.
"it is no longer permitted for X to do something" sounds incorrect as well.
C:Whom does "they" refer to?
"on view of " is not idiomatic. should be "in view of"
D:Whom does "they" refer to?
