How long can I see my family in criminal detention?

During the period from the date of criminal detention to the court's judgment, the detainees were unable to see their families.

After detention, the detained person shall be immediately sent to the detention center for custody, and shall not exceed twenty-four hours. Unless it is impossible to notify or the notification of suspected crimes endangering national security or terrorist activities may hinder the investigation, the family members of the detained person shall be notified within 24 hours after detention. The suspect was put in a detention center. Before the judgment of the people's court, the criminal procedure law stipulated that only defense lawyers could meet the criminal suspect, and relatives and friends were not allowed to meet the criminal suspect. 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.

However, special provisions have been made for several types of crimes, such as crimes against national security, terrorist activities, especially serious bribery crimes and crimes of a triad nature. If a defense lawyer proposes to meet a criminal suspect in custody during the investigation, he shall obtain the permission of the investigation organ before meeting the criminal suspect.

When a defense lawyer meets a criminal suspect or defendant in custody, he can learn about the charges and the contents of the inquiry, introduce the legal provisions related to the crime, whether it has been violated or exposed, and provide legal advice. From the date when the case is transferred for examination and prosecution, the defense lawyer may access all the files of the procuratorate and verify the evidence of the case with the criminal suspect or defendant. When a defense lawyer meets a criminal suspect or defendant, the detention center and the investigation organ shall not monitor it.
