Suspects in padded cells with soft spoons
Print Edition
Padded cells to prevent suicide and soft spoons that cannot be made into weapons await officials suspected of corruption in one holding center in southwest China.
In Ziyang in Sichuan province, suspects can expect relative luxury in a low-rise building surrounded by greenery, according to pictures in Monday鈥檚 West China Metropolitan Daily that have since gone viral on other Chinese news sites.
The structure has played host to 11 suspects so far, including senior provincial officials suspected of bribery, the newspaper added.
A menu is written up on a chalkboard every day, but no fish is served lest the suspects choke to death on fish bones, sharp bones are removed from poultry and no chopsticks are allowed, in case they are used as weapons, the paper said.
鈥淲alls are padded to prevent suicide,鈥 it added, referring to the problem of officials who kill themselves rather than face the shame of a corruption investigation.
The facility tries to do what it can to make the suspects comfortable, said Ziyang law enforcement official Li Changan.
鈥淏efore a court has made a judgment, they are suspects of crimes,鈥 Li said.
鈥淎s long as they have rational requests, we鈥檒l do what we can to satisfy them.鈥
