The national security departments (bureaus) of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government may set up detention centers as needed.
Railway, transportation, forestry, civil aviation and other systems are equivalent to public security organs at or above the county level, and detention centers can be set up.

If the remaining sentence of a criminal sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment is less than three months before delivery for execution, the detention center shall execute it on his behalf.
To detain a criminal suspect in a detention center, one should rely on an arrest warrant, a criminal detention certificate issued by a public security organ or a state security organ at or above the county level, or a certificate issued by a public security organ, a state security organ, a prison, a reform-through-labor institution, a people's court or a people's procuratorate at or above the county level to hunt down and escort the criminal suspect for temporary detention. If there is no such certificate, or the record of the certificate is inconsistent with the actual situation, it will not be taken into custody.
