全国看守所排查牢头狱霸

Beijing News, 2009-04-18

The Supreme People's Procuratorate and Ministry of Public Security jointly announced a new campaign to improve inspection and management procedures in China's detention centers. One major reform target is eradicating the “prison bully” problem by prosecuting known bullies and giving physical examinations to all inmates to check for injuries. Other aspects of the campaign include cracking down on the illicit collection of fees from prisoners and the organization of prison labor in violation of regulations, as well as requiring all detention center deaths to be reported to and inspected by higher level procuracy organs.
