(High score) How long can the detention center last? My uncle has been detained for 8 months, neither convicted nor released ... What shall we do?

Hello. Has the case been prosecuted now or is it in the investigation stage? If arrested, according to article 124, the period of investigation and detention of the suspect after arrest shall not exceed two months. If the case is complicated and cannot be concluded at the expiration of the time limit, it may be extended for one month with the approval of the people's procuratorate at the next higher level.

Article 127 A criminal suspect may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years. If the extended period stipulated in Article 126 of this Law expires and the investigation is terminated, it may be extended for another two months with the approval or decision of the people's procuratorate of a province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government.

Those who exceed the above-mentioned time limit shall be detained for an extended period. You can bring an administrative lawsuit to a higher court or appeal to a higher competent department.
