Conditions for visiting the prison? My father-in-law spent two years in Shizuishan prison in Yinchuan. Can I visit the prison at any time with my ID card? Ask for other prison opening hours? thank

(1) subject condition. According to Article 48 of the Prison Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), only relatives and guardians of criminals can exercise the right to visit prisons. However, it is now common practice in all parts of the country that friends of criminals can also visit prisons, because visiting prisons can bring corresponding economic benefits to prisons.

(2) certificate conditions. When visiting the prison, the prison is required to show the following documents: 1. Identity documents (including ID card, temporary id card, household registration book, household registration certificate, military officer's card, soldier's card, etc.). ), and 2. Relevant certificates issued by local neighborhood offices, neighborhood committees and village committees. It is common practice now that a second proof is not needed.

(3) Time conditions. This condition stipulates that prison visits can only be made on designated visiting days. However, the current practice is generally that you can visit all the time except legal holidays. After the judgment comes into effect, family members can apply for meeting.

Note: Visiting the prison is not limited to relatives, but friends or others can meet after the application is approved. Pending prisoners in the detention center are not allowed to visit the prison, nor are they allowed to meet anyone except lawyers.

According to the above conditions, you can visit the prison as long as you hold your ID card on non-holidays. This is the telephone number of Ningxia Prison Administration, (0951) 6197017. You'd better call before you go.
