Can I still mediate after being detained?

Legal analysis: After criminal detention, the lawyer hired by the party or the suspect's family can reach mediation with the victim, but the success of mediation and whether the criminal case is closed are two different legal relationships. If a criminal case reaches mediation, the criminal suspect may be given a lighter or reduced punishment, but whether to pursue criminal liability shall be decided by the public security organs, procuratorates and courts. If the public security organ determines that the crime is obviously minor, it can make a decision not to prosecute, which is what ordinary people understand and conclude the case through mediation.

Legal basis: Article 177 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China. If the criminal suspect has no criminal facts or falls under any of the circumstances stipulated in Article 16 of this Law, the People's Procuratorate shall make a decision not to prosecute. If the crime is minor and does not need to be sentenced or exempted from punishment in accordance with the criminal law, the People's Procuratorate may decide not to prosecute. In cases where the People's Procuratorate decides not to prosecute, the property seized, seized, or frozen during the investigation process shall be released at the same time. If it is necessary to impose administrative penalties or sanctions on the complainant or confiscate illegal income, the People's Procuratorate shall issue a procuratorial opinion and transfer it to the relevant competent authority for handling. The relevant competent authorities shall promptly notify the People's Procuratorate of the handling results.
