Beijing Evening News, 2009-04-08
Beijing's Xuanwu District Legal Aid Center has signed an agreement with the Beijing Qinghe Prison Sub-bureau to give “one-on-one” legal aid to incarcerated inmates in the sub-bureau's 5 prisons. At a recent group consultation session, lawyers answered prisoner's legal questions about household registration (hukou), removal from and compensation for destroyed housing, inheritance, reduced sentencing and early release. Legal aid lawyers also distributed pamphlets addressing prisoner's common legal concerns, as well as their individual rights. Prison officials also hope the lawyers' visits and consultations can educate prison guards and other police about the law.
