In order to strictly crack down on lawbreakers and criminals and effectively demonstrate judicial credibility, the Lai'an County People's Court in Anhui Province has actively implemented the deployment requirements of higher courts on the centralized clean-up of unincorporated criminals, and promptly took prisoners sentenced to actual sentences into custody for enforcement.
Among them, the convict Tao Mou was sentenced by the court to one year and two months imprisonment and fined for theft. During the execution of Tao's imprisonment, it was found that he raised a minor son alone, and after Tao was imprisoned, his son was not raised or supervised. The judge in charge of the case immediately went to Tao's household registration place to inquire about the specific circumstances of the investigation, Tao's family life was difficult, his parents had died; his son was born out of wedlock, and the child's mother was now married to others in other places and was unwilling to raise the child. Tao's other relatives did not associate with Tao because of their repeated theft, nor were they willing to raise children while Tao was serving his sentence.
The judge in charge reported the above situation to the leaders of the court, who immediately convened a special meeting to discuss and requested the political and legal committee of the county party committee to coordinate the matter. Under the overall arrangement of the political and legal committee of the county party committee, the county civil affairs bureau, the education and sports bureau, the Yangying township government, and the court discussed the issue of raising and caring for children during Tao's sentence. After research, it was decided that Tao's son would be arranged to attend a boarding school, and a relative of Tao would be designated as a guardian, and Yang Yingxiang and the Civil Affairs Bureau would give certain living expenses and education expenses until Tao was released from prison in order to ensure that his son lived and studied normally. Tao mou said that he was very satisfied with the result, voluntarily went to the court to request prison enforcement, and was willing to reform well in prison, and he was taken in by the court for execution in December.
Judicial adjudication must not only give play to the function of punishing evil and promoting good, but also organically unify with social effects in order to safeguard social fairness and justice. The life of the judiciary also lies not only in the rigidity of the law, but also in its humanity. In this small theft case, because the judges understand, communicate and coordinate in many ways, they can let the criminals solve their worries, feel the temperature of the judiciary, and realize the effective blend of "feelings" and "law", so that the criminals can sincerely repent and achieve the true meaning of the punishment.
