Why didn't my boyfriend inform me when he was in prison?

Legal analysis: generally speaking, the girlfriend of the party concerned will not be notified, because the girlfriend is not within the scope of close relatives stipulated by law, and generally only the family members will be notified, not the girlfriend. In the case of criminal detention, family members are not allowed to visit the prison, and only lawyers can be entrusted to meet and understand the situation.

Legal basis: According to the Supreme People's Court's explanation on the application of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), in criminal cases, the written judgment shall be served on the people's procuratorate, the parties and their legal representatives, defenders and agents ad litem, and may also be served on the close relatives of the defendant. After the judgment comes into effect, it shall also be served on the defendant's unit or the local police station or the registration authority of the defendant's unit.

The girlfriend of the party concerned does not belong to the scope of close relatives stipulated in the criminal law, so under normal circumstances, the court will not serve criminal judgment on the girlfriend of the party concerned after the judgment, nor will it inform the girlfriend of the party concerned.

However, if the question refers to the visit during the prison term, the party concerned may notify his girlfriend in accordance with the regulations, telling him the specific place and visiting time of the prison term. And under normal circumstances, after going through the relevant formalities according to regulations, girlfriends can also visit.
