How to find out where the prisoners are distributed?

Relatives can inquire and need to provide relevant materials. If it is a new prisoner, there will be training, and it is impossible to inquire during this period.

After the expiration of the training period, the inquirer can bring his/her ID card, household registration book, and a certificate from the local public security department that he/she is related to his/her family. For example, if you are from Shanxi, you can go to the Prison Department of Shanxi Prison Administration and provide detailed information such as the prisoner's name, age, place of origin, charges, sentence and time served.
