"Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations on Detention Centers" Article 16 When a detainee is detained in a detention center, a doctor shall conduct a health examination and fill out a health checklist. If the detainee is found to have physical injuries or abnormal conditions, the detention decision-making organ shall issue relevant explanations, and the detention center shall register the injuries or abnormal conditions in detail, which shall be signed by the detainee and the detainee for confirmation.
What is the difference between a detention center and a prison?
The detention center is an organ that detains criminal suspects who have been arrested and detained according to law. If a prisoner sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment has less than three months left before being handed over for execution, the detention center shall execute it on his behalf. The task of the detention center is to put the criminal suspects in custody on armed alert according to relevant laws to ensure safety. Educate criminal suspects. Manage the life hygiene of criminal suspects. Ensure the smooth progress of investigation, prosecution and trial. Prison is the penalty execution organ of the state. According to the relevant laws, criminals sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment should be executed in prison. Prisons implement the principle of combining punishment with reform and combining education with labor to transform criminals into law-abiding citizens.
