Five government departments—the Central Public Security Comprehensive Management Committee, Supreme People's Court, Supreme People's Procuratorate, Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Justice—jointly issued an “Opinion Regarding Strengthening and Standardizing Serving Sentences Outside Prison Work.” The “Opinion” calls for closing loopholes and gaps in the current probation system to reduce recidivism and “guarantee the proper execution of criminal punishments and promote social harmony and stability.” Procuratorate offices are to take a more active role in supervising both those on probation, and the other criminal justice organs (courts, police, prisons and detention centers) that should be monitoring parolees. The “Opinion” also calls for increased enforcement of probation revocation.
