Prison deaths reflect 鈥榣ack of supervision鈥
Print Edition
Authorities in east China鈥檚 Jiangxi Province have promised an overhaul of prisons after an investigation found that the death of eight inmates at a facility in Ganzhou between 2008 and 2014 was a reflection of 鈥減roblems in our supervision.鈥
One inmate was killed by another, one died after falling from a building and one died of a drug allergy, in addition to five who died of natural causes, investigators said.
Two managerial staff at the prison who were implicated in the murder of inmate Liu Hailong in 2010 were removed from their posts, they said.
The investigation was launched late last month after family members demanded the truth about the incidents in the prison.
The investigators said the prison informed family members right after the inmates鈥 deaths and provided them with the cause of death.
However, some incidents had not been recorded because of a lack of surveillance cameras at the prison or technical failure.
Officials said security facilities and health services in prisons would be improved.
Lax supervision at Chinese prisons has been a public concern in recent years. In January, a prisoner in Nehe prison in northeast China鈥檚 Heilongjiang Province, was found to be blackmailing women who lived near the prison via mobile app WeChat despite a ban on mobile phones in prisons.
