You need to wait for a notice, which will tell the criminal's family that the criminal has been put in prison, so that you can see him later. Under normal circumstances, family members can apply for visits as long as they are transferred to prison. After the verdict comes into effect, the prisoner will be transferred to prison within one month. After family members arrive in prison, they can visit the prison at the specified time, but they must do a good job in applying. Generally, we can meet again once a month for half an hour to an hour at a time. We know that from the investigation stage to the trial stage, criminal suspects and defendants who are detained, arrested and detained in detention centers are not allowed to meet their families, and only lawyers have the right to meet. The reason for this provision is that we are worried that criminal suspects and defendants will collude with their families to extract confessions or even collude to destroy evidence, thus hindering investigation and trial. However, when the court made a guilty verdict on the defendant after the trial and it came into effect, the whole case was over and the criminals had been convicted. At this time, you don't have to worry about obstructing the investigation. Therefore, family members have the right to meet criminals from the time they formally serve their sentences. For example, the criminal has served his sentence in prison for several months. At this time, family members can of course visit the prison.
Generally speaking, when a prisoner first enters the prison, he can fill in the "interview list" and specify the relatives and friends to meet. After filling it out, the prison will give the list to the court, and the court will be responsible for contacting the people on the list and telling them that the prisoners want to see them. Of course, prisoners' close relatives (parents, children and spouses) can visit the prison whether they are on the "interview list" or not. Other relatives and friends (even male and female friends) of prisoners are not allowed to visit the prison as long as they are not on the "interview list".
The specific process of prison visit is that visitors bring their ID cards, household registration books or other supporting materials that can prove their identity and specific relationship with prisoners, apply for a meeting at the meeting window of the prison, and then the staff will arrange a meeting. After making the arrangements, they can visit the prison.
Legal basis:
According to Article 4 of the Prison Law, a prisoner may meet his relatives and guardians during his sentence. Criminals usually meet once a month for half an hour to an hour at a time. Prisons can take care of lenient criminals and other criminals with special circumstances, increase the number of meetings and extend the meeting time.
