Lawyer's analysis
No, the Ministry of Public Security clearly stipulates that criminal defendants are not allowed to shave their heads forcibly after entering the detention center, and the implementation of this regulation is not uniform in various places.
It is not mandatory to cut hair, but it will be cut short for hygiene.
China's "Prison Law" and "Detention Center Regulations" do not stipulate that criminals or criminal suspects shave their heads during detention.
