According to the provisions of the criminal law, the main punishments in China are divided into five types: public surveillance, criminal detention, fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment and death penalty. Different punishments will have different executing organs.
According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, criminals sentenced to death with a two-year suspension of execution, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment shall be put into prison for execution by public security organs.
For criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, if the remaining sentence is less than one year before being handed over for execution, the detention center will execute it on their behalf.
Criminals sentenced to criminal detention or public surveillance shall be executed by public security organs.
Sentenced prisons actually have a detailed division of labor. Different prisoners will be assigned to different prisons, and prisoners of different sexes will stay in different prisons.
Is the prison a single room or a mixed room?
It's usually mixed. The prison law does not specify the number of prisoners. In practice, prisoners live in groups, usually 8 to 10 people in a cell, which is convenient for prison management and prisoners can also supervise each other. So prisons are generally mixed.
