1. The adoption of criminal detention measures against the suspect shows that the nature of the case is serious, and the suspect’s confessions are basically obtained during detention.
2. Most criminal suspects enter the detention center for the first time. They don't know the internal rules. They always think that the person who takes care of them is the person handling the case. They don't know the seriousness of their crimes or what their rights are. They also fear being tortured to extract confessions. Even the case investigators asked them to sign, but it was inconsistent with what they said, so they didn't dare to read or sign. This is quite detrimental to yourself.
3. Lawyers can provide legal aid to criminal suspects during their criminal detention; represent them in appeals and accusations; apply for changes in compulsory measures and provide opinions. You can also meet and communicate with criminal suspects to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects are not violated.
