Where is the criminal detention?

Criminal detention is generally held in the local detention center. Criminal detention, also known as pre-detention, is a compulsory measure for public security organs to temporarily deprive active criminals or major suspects of their personal freedom and put them under the supervision of detention centers in legal emergencies.

During criminal detention, no one is allowed to visit except the entrusted lawyer, but daily necessities and living expenses can be sent. Family members can only visit after the judgment of the case takes effect.

There are three stages since the criminal suspect was taken into custody by the public security organs, namely, the stage of filing a case for investigation, the stage of examination and prosecution, and the stage of trial. In these three stages, relatives can't visit the suspect, and they can't visit before the judgment of the case takes effect. Since it is the investigation stage, you can entrust a lawyer. Defense lawyers can provide legal aid to criminal suspects during investigation; Acting as an agent for complaints and accusations; Apply for changing compulsory measures; Ask the investigation organ about the crimes and cases suspected by the criminal suspect, and put forward opinions. This is also the time for lawyers to intervene in the case in advance after the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law, which is beneficial to the criminal suspect.
