Prison and Detention Center Police to Undergo “Education and Rectification Campaign”

公安部：汲取监所非正常死亡事件教训 开展教育整顿
Xinhua News, 2009-04-02
From 1 April to the end of June, the public security bureau-administered detention center and prison system will conduct a “be conscientious and meticulous in your work; be loyal to your duty” campaign in response to public outrage over “unnatural deaths” in China's prisons. The campaign will tackle problems of “special-privileges mentalities, dim legal consciousness, and weak conceptions of human rights” among prison officers. Local public security bureaus are also to report to Party committees and local governments on issues of force strength, funding difficulties and insufficient facilities and equipment.
