Can I visit you when you are detained?

Legal analysis: During the period of detention, there are two situations in which you can apply for visiting. One is criminal detention. Lawyers entrusted by detainees can apply for visits, meet and communicate with them, and their families are not allowed to visit. The second is civil detention, and the families of detainees can apply for visits. When visiting detainees, they should bring their valid identity documents and fill in the registration form, which can only be visited after being checked by the police. During the visit, except for the items approved by the police, other items shall not be handed over to the detained person.

Legal basis: Article 52 of the Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations on Detention Facilities shall hold valid identity documents when meeting with detainees. When the lawyer entrusted by the detainee meets with the detainee, he shall also hold a lawyer's practice certificate, a certificate of law firm, a power of attorney or a letter of legal aid. The police of the detention center shall examine the relevant certificates and vouchers of the meeting personnel, fill in the registration form of meeting the detainees, and make arrangements in time.
