While serving a sentence, a prisoner may meet with his relatives and guardians in accordance with regulations. Criminals usually meet once a month 1 time for half an hour to one hour at a time. For lenient criminals and other criminals with special circumstances, we can pay attention to increasing the number of meetings and prolonging the meeting time. Criminals who need to meet, when sending letters every month, ask to meet. The squadron police sent a "meeting notice" with the letter, and the meeting object came to meet according to the specified date. In principle, the targets that criminals meet refer to their close relatives and guardians. Close relatives refer to spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, parents-in-law, grandparents, uncles and aunts, siblings and spouses of themselves and their spouses. During the period of custody, with the consent of the case-handling organ and the approval of the public security organ, criminals may communicate and meet with their close relatives.
