The vice-president of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Sun Xian, spoke at a forum for leaders of the country's local procuratorates on the need for procurators to increase their supervisory role over prisons and detention centers, the later still operated by local public security bureaus, not the Ministry of Justice. Sun emphasized the need to prevent and rectify instances of suspects being detained beyond legally prescribed time limits. Specific measures to do so include “persistently implementing the practice of calling [police] attention to expiring time limits, pressing [police] about expired limits, and correcting cases where time limits are exceeded and pursuing the responsibility of [relevant officials].” Procuratorates are also to increase communication, planning and coordination with public security organs by establishing and manning permanent offices within police stations and detention centers.
