If it is a criminal judgment of first instance, it will not take effect after release. At this time, the defense lawyer can go to the detention center to meet. Lawyers can meet the parties and ask them if they have any objections to the judgment and whether they need to appeal. If no appeal is made within ten days after the judgment is served, the judgment will take effect when it expires. At this time, if you need to serve your sentence in prison, the criminals will be sent to prison, and family members can visit the prison at the time specified by the prison. If you don't need to be sent to prison, you can serve your sentence directly in the detention center, and your family members can also visit the detention center.
If it is a criminal judgment, it will take effect if it is delivered in the second instance, because the second instance is the final judgment. Therefore, once the judgment of the second instance is delivered, the trial stage of the second instance is over, and lawyers can no longer meet in the detention center. At this time, if you need to serve your sentence in prison, criminals will be sent to prison and family members can visit the prison. If you don't need to be sent to prison, family members can also visit in the detention center.
