Why are family members' meetings with inmates monitored and recorded?
Inmates are allowed to meet with their relatives when they are undergoing prison reform, but the time and number of meetings are limited, generally about once a month, and the time of the meeting is basically half an hour or an hour. In addition, if relatives want to have additional opportunities to meet inmates, they need to go to the relevant prison ** to pay attention to the family activities held by the prison, at this time, the prison will select some family members to participate in activities with the inmates, so that the inmates have a better motivation to serve their sentences for reform.
If you want to get the opportunity to meet your relatives, you must take the initiative to participate in the task of labor reform, and complete it on time and with quality and quantity, if you do it against the correctional personnel, you will inevitably be punished, and the number and time of the meeting may be reduced, and even if you violate Article 38 of the Code of Conduct for Prison Inmates, you will be canceled the opportunity to meet. In other words, it is possible that there will be no chance to meet with the family for the next three or four months.
Now let's talk about today's topic: Why are family members being monitored and recorded when they meet with inmates? Family members can meet with inmates while they are serving their sentences in prison, but there are correctional officers who will monitor them in real time during the meeting, and they will record and save the content of the chat, which is due to a variety of reasons.
1. Prevent doing extreme things.
Prisoners are detained in prisons for rehabilitation, and after completing their sentences, they go out to be useful to society, which is one of the purposes of the existence of prisons. Although the prison is relatively closed to outside information, inmates can still learn about the outside world by watching the news and reading newspapers. If you want to know the news of your family, you can only do it by calling your family**, writing letters, and meeting with your family.
These three ways are the main *** All messages will be checked by the correctional staff, just like the letters and the like, the correctional officers will open them for inspection, read the content of the letters, whether there is any illegal content, and whether there is some negative information that is not conducive to the reform of the prisoner.
When relatives come to meet with inmates, correctional officers will always listen to the conversation between relatives and inmates, and will also pay attention to the changes in expressions and emotions on the inmates' faces in real time, especially when relatives inform inmates that their old father and mother are sick and hospitalized, at this time the inmates' emotions will change greatly, because inmates cannot go out to take care of their relatives in prison, and even when their relatives pass away, they still can't see each other for the last time. But there is no way to comfort it, only through some psychological counseling.
When the inmates encounter some negative news, the correctional staff will always pay attention to the emotions of the inmates, if there are abnormal movements, the correctional officers will end the meeting at any time, and will often pay attention to the inmates' behavior in the subsequent life to prevent them from doing some radical behaviors, such as self-harm, suicide or beating other inmates in the same cell, etc.
2. Prevent premeditation and collusion.
Although the prisoner has been sentenced by the court, if the prisoner is involved in not one case, but many cases, when ** is solving other cases, there are criminals who confess to the prisoners who have been sentenced. As a result, the inmate is likely to be retried or given a heavier punishment.
When the family knows in advance that the inmate is related to other cases, they will try their best to eliminate the evidence and then notify the inmate at the time of the meeting, and collude with the pre-negotiated confession, which will bring a lot of obstacles to the investigation of the **, so it is necessary and important for the correctional personnel to listen to the content of the conversation at any time during the meeting.
