Detention center belongs to a temporary detention place. Generally, all the people detained here are criminal suspects or criminals with short sentences. Sometimes the families of criminals or criminal suspects may visit the detention center, so is there a charge for visiting the detention center in reality? If you don't know, please follow Bian Xiao to learn about it below.
1. Is there a charge for visiting the detention center?
According to the actual situation of the judicial organs, if it is an undecided criminal, family members cannot visit him, and they can only meet him by entrusting a lawyer to understand the situation of the detainees. If you have been sentenced and are now being held in a detention center, your immediate family members can visit you. You should bring your household registration book and ID card, both of which are indispensable, because it is stipulated that only immediate family members can visit the prison, and you should use your household registration book to prove that you are immediate family members, so that the documents are complete and convenient for you to visit in time. In other words, people who visit the detention center generally do not charge.
Article 83 of the Criminal Procedure Law: When a public security organ carries out detention or arrest in a different place, it shall notify the public security organ where the detained or arrested person is located, and the public security organ where the detained or arrested person is located shall cooperate.
2. Does the detention center charge for meals?
(1) The main channel of grain supply funds. There are three main channels for the food funds of detainees in detention centers: one is the special financial allocation of the government. This is the main source of funds for providing food and feeding for detainees. At present, most detention centers spend government funds on food and feeding on average, about one person per month in 98 yuan. The second is the self-financing subsidy of the detention center. According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Public Security, at present, most detention centers are engaged in foreign labor services, organizing detainees to carry out various productive labor, and part of the income from productive labor is used to subsidize the part of government funding that is insufficient for food and feeding. Because the detention center is not open, it is difficult to grasp the specific expenses. Third, the detainees or their families bear it. In order to solve the problem of low food level of detainees due to lack of funds, detention centers regularly or daily make and sell some meals for detainees to buy at their own expense, and the varieties and prices of meals in various detention centers are not the same.
(2) Types and quantities of food for detainees. The detainees in the detention center all have three meals a day, and the types and quantities of food provided by the detention center are uneven and different, which can basically meet the food standards of 1 kg of rice, vegetables, cooking oil and meat per person per month. But relatively speaking, there are not many detention centers that provide detainees with a full range of food, and detention centers that supply a single variety of food and insufficient quantity account for another part. On New Year's Day, Spring Festival, May Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and other important festivals, the detention center will regularly add dishes to detainees, with different varieties, mainly meat, fish and eggs.
(3) Purchasing channels for meals and materials. The food, grain, oil, vegetables and other materials of the detainees in the detention center are uniformly purchased by the detention center in the local market or supplied by fixed vendors, without the need for unified procurement by the government procurement center.
(4) the management and use system of food funds. According to the provisions of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Finance on printing and distributing the expenditure scope and management measures of detention center funds, the use and management of the main food funds for detainees, such as government financial allocations, are supervised by local financial departments and auditing departments. However, according to the survey, at present, the specific use and management of food funds for detainees in detention centers are controlled by the detention centers themselves, and the financial and auditing departments only do procedural supervision and inspection.
If the criminal suspect and defendant are detained in the detention center before the case is decided, they can only entrust professional lawyers to visit them. If the case is temporarily detained in the detention center after the judgment, only immediate family members can visit the prison, but generally there is no need to pay fees.
