The Zaoyang City Detention Center in Hubei Province has launched activities to open up to the outside world, and has taken the initiative to invite more than 10 people from all walks of life, including deputies to the Municipal People's Congress, members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, representatives of the business community, and representatives of cadres and the masses, to visit the detention center. During the event, the correctional police led the delegates to visit the rule of law corridor, the detention hall, the conflict resolution room, the medical area, the psychological counseling room, the duty monitoring room and other places, and introduced in detail the nature and functions of the detention center, as well as the practice of the "Fengqiao experience" in the new era, and gave full play to the work of the people's mediation committee and the judge's office. During the visit, the delegates listened carefully to the working methods and experience of the full-time mediators and solicited their opinions and suggestions. In the end, the delegates expressed their appreciation and support for the humanistic management concept, standardized and open management mode and related practices of the detention center, and expressed that they would actively cooperate and work together to do a good job in the education and transformation of detainees.
Such open days are of positive significance for strengthening the ties and exchanges between the detention center and people from all walks of life. First of all, through the open day activities, the public can have a more intuitive understanding of the facilities, equipment and management of the detention center, enhance the knowledge and understanding of the work of the detention center, and make all sectors of society more confident and support the detention center to strengthen the correctional work. Secondly, the deputies' visits and opinions and suggestions will also help the detention center to strengthen its work of improvement and perfection and enhance the effect of education and transformation. Finally, this practice of opening up to the outside world is also in line with the spirit of the rule of law, advocating openness and transparency, and promoting the construction of a society governed by the rule of law.
Internationally, some countries have also carried out similar activities to open up to the outside world, such as the Prison Open Day in the United States, which has strengthened the connection between prisons and society by inviting members of the public to visit prisons, reduced social misunderstanding of prisons, and contributed to social stability and harmony. Therefore, the opening up of the Zaoyang City Detention Center in Hubei Province to the outside world deserves recognition and support.
However, there are still some problems and challenges in the reform and day-to-day management of detention centres. For example, the humanistic management concept of detention centers needs to be continuously strengthened, the management model needs to be improved, and the success rate of education transformation should be improved. In addition, prison reform also needs policy and legal support, as well as the participation and guidance of professionals.
To sum up, the opening up of the Zaoyang Detention Center in Hubei Province to the outside world is a positive step, which can strengthen the connection between the detention center and society, and improve the public's understanding and support for the work of the detention center. In future work, it is necessary to further deepen reforms, strengthen the education and transformation of detainees, and increase the success rate of reform. At the same time, the government needs to introduce more policies to support the work of detention centers and attract more professionals to participate and support. It is hoped that the detention center will continue to improve and make more contributions to social stability and harmony.
