Social spring breeze blows into the ＂iron window＂! 999 criminals who have stood the test after leaving prison to visit relatives returned as scheduled.
CCTV News:It is a traditional custom for us to go home for the Spring Festival in Chinese. During the Spring Festival, the Ministry of Justice launched an activity of visiting relatives from prison, which allowed 999 criminals to go home for the Spring Festival. All these criminals returned to prison safely, and there was no accident. A reporter asked, what was the consideration when this activity was carried out at that time? According to what kind of law? Are there any concerns?
司法部部长 张军: "Crime is a social problem. More people may think that reforming crime is a prison matter and the responsibility of the judiciary. In fact, to some extent, reforming crime is a social matter. At present, after more than ten years of prison system reform, we have achieved the bottom line safety that is acceptable, manageable and impossible to run. More than a decade ago, in the process of labor and management education, nearly 4,000 prisoners escaped each year. Now there are only a handful of prisoners who escape each year, and the bottom line is safe. Prison criminals will be released after serving their sentences, and the prison itself will be safe. Whether it can achieve social security is the "overall national security concept" put forward by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader in the report of the 19th National Congress. Prisons have the responsibility, and judicial administrative organs have the responsibility to ensure that the provisions for transforming criminals into law-abiding citizens can be put in place. "
司法部部长 张军: "In our work, we put forward that we should achieve the fundamental safety of prisons and other aspects of judicial administration on the basis of the bottom line safety. The so-called root cause security, as far as prison reform criminals is concerned, is to transform criminals into law-abiding citizens of society. "
司法部部长 张军: "We have taken the following measures around this goal: First, we must keep the bottom line safe and not escape, accept, manage and run. Second, comprehensively and vigorously improve the professional quality and political quality of the prison people’s police, and greatly improve their transformation ability. Third, we should socialize the reform of criminals, let the spring breeze of society penetrate into the prison iron gate, rely on social forces, and combine political thought, traditional culture, loyalty, filial piety and honesty with the reform of criminals, so that criminals can receive individual education combined with their own criminal situation. Fourth, we are now more likely to release criminals from prison by reducing their sentences and serving their sentences. When they go out, they are ordinary citizens, and no one has the responsibility to discipline them, but only general social education. The proportion of prisoners on parole in prison is obviously low, which is not in line with the spirit of the law. Only 2% of prisoners on parole. In the future, we will work with the people’s courts and people’s procuratorates to substantially increase the proportion of criminals who can be released on parole. After being released on parole, the unfinished sentence is his probation period. In the next three or two years, if he violates the law, he will be sent back to prison to gradually integrate into society under the transformation environment of community correction. And other related work, we will put it in place to achieve the root cause of security. "
司法部部长 张军：“罪犯离监探亲就是治本安全观的举措之一，也是让社会介入到改造过程当中。我们这次实行罪犯离监探亲，具体落实的有27个省市区，311所监狱，一共999名罪犯在春节前回家与家人团聚。在初四、初五规定的时间内100%回来。经得起这次活动社会给予的考验，经得起监狱具体工作给予的考验。这项工作得到了社会方方面面的支持，包括罪犯的家属、亲友、派出所、社区矫正机构、基层党委和政府。这项很普通具体的工作得到了最高领袖总书记的关注，习总书记通过中央政法委书记郭声琨嘱咐相关工作人员，不能仅此一次活动，而是要把其制度化、常态化，要把活动做得更好，让社会理解、接受、支持这项工作。”
司法部部长 张军：“治本安全观不仅仅是监狱，还包括戒毒、社区矫正和司法行政其他方方面面的工作。为维护社会治安，促进社会秩序良好，让人民群众有更多实实在在获得感、幸福感、安全感而做出我们的努力。”
