How many days can I see my family after criminal detention?

Legal analysis: before the criminal detention judgment, you can only meet the defense lawyer, but not the family members. In general, the longest detention period in criminal proceedings is 14 days. Major suspects who commit crimes on the run, commit crimes many times or commit crimes by gangs can be detained for up to 37 days. If the public security organ considers it necessary to arrest the detained person, it shall submit it to the people's procuratorate for examination and approval within 3 days after detention. Under special circumstances, with the approval of the person in charge of the public security organ at or above the county level, the time for submission for examination and approval may be extended by 1 to 4 days. With the approval of the person in charge of the public security organ at or above the county level, the time for reporting for examination and approval can be extended to 30 days for major criminal suspects who have committed crimes on the run, repeatedly committed crimes or committed crimes in partnership.

Legal basis: Article 39 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), 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. In criminal cases endangering national security and terrorist activities, defense lawyers should obtain permission from the investigation organ when meeting with the criminal suspect in custody during the investigation. The investigation organ shall notify the detention center of the above situation in advance. When a defense lawyer meets a criminal suspect or defendant in custody, he can understand the case and provide legal advice. From the date when the case is transferred for examination and prosecution, the relevant evidence may be verified with the criminal suspect or defendant. Defense lawyers are not monitored when meeting with criminal suspects and defendants. The provisions of the first, third and fourth paragraphs shall apply to the meetings and correspondence between defense lawyers and criminal suspects and defendants who are under surveillance.
