Upgrades make life easier for detainees
Print Edition
IN keeping with modern times, Shanghai has upgraded its detention centers in the city and now allows those held in custody to “catch up” with their family members on video chat, buy basic goods on intranet, check the meals and their medical reports via multimedia intelligent terminals.
Since last year, local authorities have invested over 60 million yuan (US$9 million) to beef up the facilities in their 21 detention houses following orders issued by the Ministry of Public Security across the country.
An online video chatting application is one of the major upgrades that allows family members to chat with the detainees from their home computers. But the process has to be approved by the detention officials, local public security bureau said.
Family members who are weak or old, or those who live outside Shanghai and are unable to make the trip to the detention centers, will be among those to benefit from the application.
Besides, the reception halls have also been given a new look.
There are now separate functional areas for prosecutors, lawyers and visitors and family members. They can check the detainees’ consumption records and medical history on electronic touch-screens in the halls with special codes issued to the detainees.
In another major advancement, lawyers don’t have to wait for long to meet their clients as the meeting rooms have almost been doubled from 109 to 210. They can also check the case files in the computers installed in the rooms.
An online appointment platform on the official website of the city’s public security bureau also saves time of the lawyers.
Mobile devices
Police officers can also record moments while patrolling the centers with mobile devices in some of the lockups in a new trial scheme.
Officers usually recorded 194 pieces of information in 27 categories, including suspects’ physical and psychological conditions, as well as daily performance, and then input them for risk evaluation.
The new intelligent mechanism would quantify the information with points and determine how dangerous the detainees are and act accordingly on those in high risk categories.
