1. Being detained in the detention center shows that this person is suspected of committing a crime, and has been subjected to compulsory measures, criminal detention or arrest by the judicial organs, and entered the criminal proceedings. Whether this person will be sentenced depends on the outcome of the trial.
2. The criminal suspect entering the detention center is under review, and it is absolutely forbidden to contact anyone outside, but he has the right to meet a lawyer. Defense lawyers can meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. Other defenders, with the permission of the people's courts and people's procuratorates, may also meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. If a defense lawyer holds a lawyer's practice certificate, a law firm's certificate, a power of attorney or a letter of legal aid to ask for a meeting with the criminal suspect or defendant in custody, the detention center shall arrange the meeting in time, which shall not exceed 48 hours at the latest.
Legal basis:
Article 91 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if the public security organ deems it necessary to arrest a detained person, it shall submit it to the people's procuratorate for examination and approval within three days after detention. Under special circumstances, the approval time can be extended by one to four days. For major suspects who commit crimes on the run, commit crimes many times or commit crimes in collusion, the time for submitting for examination and approval may be extended to 30 days. The people's procuratorate shall, within seven days after receiving the approval letter from the public security organ, make a decision on whether to approve or disapprove the arrest. If the people's procuratorate does not approve the arrest, the public security organ shall immediately release it after receiving the notice and promptly notify the people's procuratorate to execute it. Those who need to continue the investigation and meet the conditions of obtaining a guarantor pending trial or residential surveillance shall be granted a guarantor pending trial or residential surveillance according to law.
Derivative problem:
What's the difference between detention center and detention?
Detention center and detention center are two different places of detention. Their object of detention, the duration of detention, the right to meet, and the circumstances in which detention is not allowed will be different. Compared with the detention center, the detention center requires stricter and more standardized requirements, which is determined by the different illegal degrees of the detained objects, as shown in the following figure:
1. Detainee: The person detained in the detention center is a person who has been administratively detained for violating the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment or who has been decided by the people's court to judicial custody according to law. The detention center holds criminal suspects and defendants who have been criminally detained and arrested according to law. In addition, criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than one year, or criminals whose remaining sentence is less than one year, can also serve their sentences in detention centers.
2. Duration of detention: A person detained in a detention center may be released on bail pending trial or under residential surveillance, or may be approved for arrest. The longest time from criminal detention to approval of arrest is 37 days. A criminal case may take more than three months from investigation to judgment, or it may take about one year, depending on the specific case. The maximum detention time in the detention center is 15 days, which will be determined according to the seriousness of the violation of discipline.
3. Right to meet: People detained in detention centers can meet their families. According to the regulations of detention center, detainees have the right to meet and communicate, so family members can visit them, as long as they apply to the detention center. People detained in detention centers are not allowed to meet their families, but they can meet with lawyers.
