"Prison" is a place specially used to hold prisoners, as long as someone does something illegal and disciplined, he will be punished by law, among which life imprisonment is a very serious punishment, second only to the death penalty.
Those sentenced to life imprisonment, what are they doing in prison and what kind of life are they living?
What is life imprisonment
If you say what is the heaviest criminal law in a country, many people's first reaction is "death penalty", in ancient times, the criminal law of the death penalty was quite cruel, there were car splits, Ling Chi, etc., and the current death penalty in the mainland is mainly shot or lethal injection.
In addition to the death penalty, the second most serious punishment in criminal law is life imprisonment, which as the name suggests, refers to prison life without a fixed term.
Those who have been sentenced to life imprisonment, as long as they behave well in prison, still have the opportunity to receive leniency and have their life imprisonment commuted to fixed-term imprisonment, but there are also criminals who have been sentenced to life imprisonment and then think about changing their life sentences to fixed-term imprisonment and finally strive for commutation.
This kind of black-box operation has also allowed many people sentenced to life imprisonment to be released from prison early after only a few years, but the mainland has discovered this loophole and changed the time of life imprisonment to at least 13 years.
The starting date is calculated from the day the life sentence is imposed, and such a provision is made known to prisoners when they are in prison, so that they understand that even life imprisonment may be commuted as long as they do not lose hope in life.
Many prisoners who were sentenced to life imprisonment were commuted because of their outstanding performance in prison, and were eventually sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, so that they did not die of old age in prison, but there are also some heinous people and unrepentant people who do not have such good luck.
According to the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in Handling Commutation and Parole Cases, it is stipulated that:
Where indefinite convicts truly show repentance and reformation or make meritorious contributions during the period of enforcement of their sentences, the conditions for commutation are met after serving two years of sentence.
The specific range of commutation is: if the offender truly shows repentance or meritorious service, generally speaking, the life sentence can be commuted to 20-22 years imprisonment;
If the offender truly shows repentance and reformation and has truly made major meritorious contributions, the sentence may be commuted to 15 to 20 years imprisonment.
In the long-term prison life, will there be a phenomenon of gangs and factions in prisons as in film and television dramas, in fact, there will be a few prisoners in prisons who have a good relationship, but it will definitely not develop into a phenomenon of gangs and factions.
There is such a clause in the "Code of Conduct for Prisoners", that is, "gangs are not allowed, and it is not allowed to bully others", and in order to prevent gangs and factions in prisons, relevant regulations have been promulgated.
For example, more than three people are allowed to sit together (except for meals), and the prison will often move dormitories to prevent gangs.
In prisons, there is a system of joint punishment for prisoners, in which several people are divided into small groups, and if one of them dares to fight, the whole group will be punished together.
In the event of a fight, these prisoners will face very serious punishments, so under normal circumstances, fights and fights will never be indicated, and even if there are vicious incidents, they are carried out in private.
However, if such behavior is discovered by prison guards, then everyone involved in the fight will face severe punishment.
Life in prison
Life in prison is strictly under militarized management, and the daily routine can be said to be very healthy, generally getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning for roll call, starting meals on time at 7 o'clock, and working at half past eight o'clock.
Eating starts at 12 noon, continues to work from 2 to 5 p.m., and after 8 p.m., the prisoners are managed in a unified manner, and rests at 10 p.m., life in prison can be said to be day after day, quite boring, and the advantage of the enclosed space can not be in contact with the outside world.
Those sentenced to life imprisonment are prone to mental illness, but the laws of the mainland are still relatively humane, as long as they are not heinous, they will not be sentenced to death or life imprisonment.
There is one day of rest each week, and the prison guards organize activities for the convicts to participate in activities and call their parents to greet them, and the rest time varies slightly from region to region, but the prison guards will try to give the inmates a day off, unless it is a prison indiscipline.
Many people are curious about the food in prison, what do they eat at each meal?
In order to ensure the nutrition of the prisoners, the prison will distribute a certain amount of meat and vegetables every month, and will also provide shopping services, if you think that the prison meals are good, you are very wrong.
The food in prison is not the taste of the food we eat at home, the amount of oil is very small, and the taste is light, but only those who have been in prison will understand what it tastes like.
Recreational activities in the prison are also diverse, in order to ensure the physical and mental health of the inmates, sports and cultural activities are regularly carried out, and there is also a library in the prison with positive books.
Prisoners can learn Xi knowledge and improve their literacy level in the library, and inmates will also watch news broadcasts every day to learn about social knowledge, and the prison will also educate according to the cultural level of different people, and after passing the examination, they can obtain the corresponding certificate.
Prisons will treat those sentenced to life imprisonment with the same respect and care as other prisoners, care for these groups, and encourage them to actively enter the society for reformation and strive for early reintegration into society.
Every month, a fixed time is set aside in prison to meet with their families, which is the most exciting day of the month for them, and their families will encourage them to reform in prison and strive to be with their families as soon as possible.
Recreation in prison
In prisons, long-term detention can bring a lot of psychological pressure to the inmates, and in order to relieve the pressure, the prison will also organize a variety of recreational activities.
For example, "family education" organizes one or two family assistance sessions in prison every year, which is mainly to allow inmates and relatives to have face-to-face family exchanges, and even family dinners.
In every family exchange, there will be a lot of tear-jerking scenes, facing the tears of relatives, so that many inmates burst into tears, determined to reform well, and strive to reunite with their families as soon as possible.
However, the requirements for participating in this event are relatively strict, and only inmates who strictly follow the discipline requirements of the prison can participate, and many inmates also behave well on weekdays in order to participate in this activity.
The prison will also regularly hold "chess and card game activities", which will organize participation in various chess and card competitions, such as chess, backgammon, Go, poker, etc., and the players who win the competition can get rewards and assessment points.
Chess and card activities can be regarded as increasing the fun of prisoners' prison life.
Every year, on important festivals such as the National Day and the Spring Festival, the prison organizes large-scale cultural activities, which are all selected from various prison districts, including sketches, singing and sign language exercises.
As long as the inmates participate in the performance, each person will be rewarded with assessment points, and many inmates have signed up for the competition in order to get the assessment points, and this reward system has also greatly increased the enthusiasm of the inmates.
In addition to theatrical programs, the prison will also hold sports programs, and the prison has its own basketball court and table tennis court, and the prison guards will organize prison personnel to carry out sports activities on every rest day or in a major program.
Sometimes there are spring and winter games, and there are more competitions, such as tug-of-war and relay races, but there are many people who participate in these competitions, but everyone is selected by the generals, and only those who usually perform well can participate.
Recreational activities in prison are designed to enhance the solidarity of inmates and enrich their boring lives.
In prison, the policy of commuting sentences for good behavior is implemented, but in more than ten years of prison life, does anyone choose to escape from prison?
Has anyone escaped from prison
In the film and television dramas "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Prison Break", the male protagonist successfully completed the prison escape through his own efforts, but in real life, how difficult is it to complete the prison escape?
In our country, it is almost impossible for prisoners to complete the escape from prison, and prisons are generally built in the suburbs and fields, far from the density of the population.
The outer walls of the prison are surrounded by high walls, the lowest of which is 7 meters high, and the outer walls are covered with barbed wire, each of which is supported by a V-shaped bracket.
There is also high-voltage electricity on the barbed wire, it is very difficult for prisoners to climb the barbed wire, and there is also a circle of gillnets on the barbed wire, which is not only a little bit, but also can detect whether there is abnormal vibration, and once found, the police will be called immediately.
A few meters in front of the iron net, the prisoner can not cross, there is an alarm line on the ground, once crossed, the gun will be fired to warn, since the iron net is crossed, so can the prisoner escape by digging a hole like the male protagonist in "Prison Break"?
The answer is impossible, because the floor and walls of the room where the prisoners live are made of reinforced concrete, which cannot be dug at all, and the clothes worn by the prisoners are all special reflective stripes, and there are ubiquitous cameras.
None of these can be escaped, so people serving sentences should not think about escaping, and they can serve their sentences in prison with peace of mind, and strive for leniency if they perform well.
end
Prison is not hell, much less heaven, it is more like a giant melting pot.
Those who harbor sin in their hearts will be thrown into the furnace to be roasted and forged, and if they can turn back, the impurities in their bodies will be completely removed
