Present situation of Suzhou prison in Jiangsu Province

Suzhou Prison is located in Cang Xie Street, opposite to Suzhou University and residential area. For the current architectural pattern in Suzhou, Suzhou prison is very uncoordinated with the surrounding urban buildings. The reporter learned that at present, the judicial department has agreed to the location of the new site of Suzhou prison, and the construction plan of the new prison is also in full swing. Suzhou New Prison is located in Huangdai Town, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou, covering an area of 360 mu. After the relocation of Suzhou Prison, cultural and leisure tourism projects will be introduced in the original site to create important tourist attractions around the ancient city of Suzhou, which will be in harmony with the overall style of the ancient city of Suzhou. On the morning of May 20, 2009, police lights flashed and sirens sounded. Under the escort of armed police officers and prison police, all prisoners in Suzhou Prison in Jiangsu Province moved safely and smoothly from the old prison (Xiangmencang Street 10, Suzhou City) to the new address (Huangdai Town, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City), which marked the successful completion of the overall relocation of Suzhou Prison and the first-class modernization in China. The overall relocation of Suzhou prison has a heavy task, great influence and high social concern. The leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attached great importance to it and gave instructions on the resettlement of prisoners respectively, demanding careful organization and implementation to ensure foolproof. The Provincial Department of Justice, the Provincial Prison Administration, the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and relevant departments held coordination meetings for many times, and * * * studied and formulated the Implementation Plan for the Transfer and Escort of Criminals in Suzhou Prison, Jiangsu Province. A working leading group composed of Jiangsu Armed Police Corps, Provincial Prison Administration, Political and Legal Committee of Suzhou Municipal Committee and Suzhou Public Security Bureau was set up to establish and improve the cooperative combat mechanism and strengthen organizational leadership and coordination command, which provided a strong organizational guarantee for the smooth relocation of prisons. Suzhou Prison was founded in the second year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (19 10), which is the product of the improvement of the prison system in the Qing Dynasty and one of the "three major prisons in the Republic of China". As a high-security prison for holding felons, since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, Suzhou Prison has earnestly performed its prison functions and achieved remarkable results. It has successively won the honorary titles of "National Advanced Collective of Judicial Administration System", "Judicial Administration Unit Satisfied by the People of the Province" and "Jiangsu May 1st Labor Award", and won the first class 1 time, the second class twice and the third class three times. The prison has set a national record for 27 consecutive years that no prisoners have escaped from prison.
