Before being handed over for execution, if the remaining sentence is less than three months, the detention center will execute it on its behalf, so if the sentence exceeds three months, it will be sent to prison. After a criminal case is pronounced, the specific place to serve the sentence depends on the sentence. For criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, if the detention period is deducted.
If there are still three months in prison, then in this case, you don't need to serve your sentence in prison, you just need to serve your sentence in a detention center, because the time is relatively short, tossing and turning also wastes the national judicial resources, and criminals sentenced to probation don't need to serve their sentence in prison, just go directly to the place where they are registered or their habitual residence.
Article 253 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that:
When a criminal is committed for execution, the people's court that committed him for execution shall, within 10 days after the judgment takes effect, serve the relevant legal documents to the public security organs, prisons or other enforcement organs. Criminals sentenced to death with a two-year suspension of execution, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment shall be put in prison for execution by public security organs. If the remaining sentence of a criminal sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment is less than three months before delivery for execution, the detention center shall execute it on his behalf.
A criminal sentenced to criminal detention shall be executed by a public security organ. Juvenile delinquents should be punished in juvenile reformatory. The executing organ shall take the prisoner into custody in time and notify the prisoner's family. A criminal sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention shall be issued a release certificate by the executing organ after the expiration of his execution.
