During Labor Reform, did the prison focus on

reform (personal/educational development)
rather than production (labor output) of
prisoners? For example, some reformthrough-labor institutions have been accused
of being money-oriented and violating or
slacking on the implementations of state laws
and rules.

How do you think about In response to

decisions made by the people's courts,
criminals now have the right to appeal?

How do you think about Criminals have the

right to have their human dignity and personal

safety protected under all circumstances?

10

How do you think about Criminals have the

right to make reasonable suggestions
concerning the management, the educational
programme, production, recreational activities,
or sanitary conditions of a prison or reformthrough-labor institution?

11

How do you think about Criminals have the

right to lead a normal life. The State
guarantees material needs such as food,
clothing, housing, etc. The average per capita
living space for prisoners is over 5 square
meters. Efforts are made to make all prison
buildings solid, clean, well-insulated and wellventilated?

How do you think about Prisoners have the

right to maintain good health. They enjoy free
medical care and receive a regular medical
checkup every year.?

13

How do you think about Prisoners have the

right to exchange letters with their relatives and
friends and to regularly meet with family
members. Prisons and reform-through-labor
institutions have special reception rooms
where prisoners can meet with their family
members?

14

How do you think about Criminals have the

right to an education. China's reform- throughlabor institutions have set up the facilities
necessary for the education of their prisoners,
who receive a regular primary or junior
secondary education according to their
individual educational backgrounds. A prisoner
with a more advanced background may receive
a senior secondary or college education. A
prisoner may receive vocational training, laying
the foundation for supporting himself or herself
with his or her own hands on return to society.
They are allowed to read books, newspapers
and magazines, listen to the radio and watch
TV, in order to learn about major domestic and
international events and maintain a certain
amount of contact with society outside the
prison. Is it true?

Do you agree that The Government provides

special treatment which is different from the
general prison population in terms of daily
activities, administration, labor requirements,
etc. to juvenile, female, elderly, infirm and
disabled prisoners in addition to minority
nationality Chinese and foreign prisoners in full
consideration of this group's special physical
and psychological traits, physical strength
limitations and daily customs. Juveniles are
kept in juvenile delinquent rehabilitation
centers which operate on the principle of
"relying mainly on reform through education
supplemented by light physical labor," which is
actually a kind of vocational study. Prisons and
reform-through-labor institutions have special
dining rooms for minority nationality prisoners
with special dietary customs. Is it true?

17

Do you agree that the rule as A prisoner may

have his sentence reduced for good behavior
or be released on parole according to law is
well or fully implemented. Is it true?

Do you agree that Civilized and safe working

conditions are provided for prisoners engaging
in reform through labor. In the area of

occupational safety and health care, every

reform-through-labor institution has a set of

specific safety regulations and necessary

safety measures plus special safety personnel
who constantly monitor safety conditions and
conduct inspections. There are explicit

regulations relating to conditions in prisons and

reform-through-labor institutions in terms of

safety, hygiene, ventilation, light, etc.. Reform-
through-labor institutions in China are judged in
part by how well they conform to these
regulations. Is it true?

21

Do you agree that China insists that criminals

be allowed to study and improve their
production skills to make the prisoner look at
the world in a new light and enable the
reformed criminal to contribute to the
modernization programme. One major way of
judging a reform-through-labor institution is
how successful it is in helping criminals learn
and improve their production skills. This has
played an important role in enabling reformed
criminals to quickly become employed, keep
their minds on their work and avoid going
back.? Is it true?

Do you agree that The government has ruled

that former prisoners are not to be
discriminated against or shut out of society,
and that they are to be offered jobs to provide
them with opportunities to study and work and
encourage them to go straight? Is it true?

23

Do you agree that Healthy cultural,

recreational and sports activities are offered in
China's prisons and reform-through-labor
institutions to create a positive atmosphere for
bringing about change in the prisoners? Is it
true?

24

Do you agree that China sets great store by

the beneficial effects which the personal

examples and words of the prison staff have on

the prisoners in their care. The state requires

all prison staff to be ideologically morally sound
in order to guide and inspire the prisoners with
their civilized speech and behavior in their daily
work? Is it true?
