Legal analysis: After a criminal suspect is detained or arrested, if the judicial authority decides to release him on bail pending trial, the criminal suspect can meet his family members after he is released on bail pending trial. If the criminal suspect is not released on bail pending trial, he will not be able to see his family until the court's decision comes into effect and the criminal suspect completes his sentence. After the criminal judgment takes effect, if the remaining sentence is less than three months, the criminal suspect will continue to serve his sentence in the detention center, and his family members can make an appointment to meet him on the next reception day in the detention center. If the sentence exceeds three months, the family will be sent to prison within ten days. As long as you are sentenced to jail, the prison will generally arrange meetings with family members at any time, but the situation varies from place to place, so you can contact the prison in advance for consultation. Generally, prisons arrange for family members to meet with prisoners once a month. Each meeting lasts between half an hour and an hour. In principle, the persons to meet with criminals are close relatives and guardians of criminals.
