The truth is... the criminal claims to be a "big injustice"
"I'm just a 'big injustice', isn't it that I borrowed money and didn't repay it? My girlfriend even accused me of going to jail, I'm so unjust!" The criminal in front of me, Qiu, in his thirties, was full of resentment as soon as he spoke.
Qiu is serving his sentence in Nanhui Prison for fraud. During a conversation with Xin Shou, he said, "I didn't have any feelings for deceiving her. I originally wanted to marry her, and borrowing money is also for our future efforts and creating better material conditions for our married life." He emphasized that every time he borrows money, he always writes a promissory note as promised. Now that I am in prison, my family is willing to refund the loan amount as promised. "Our relationship is just a civil loan, where is fraud? It shouldn't be classified as a criminal offense!"
Although Qiu was in a fit of anger and had a confident and righteous appearance. However, police officer He Chenjun knew that Qiu had committed multiple crimes and been imprisoned, and he was already familiar with the prison reform environment. Therefore, he racked his brains to exploit loopholes in the system and tried to play the edge of the law - he refused to work during the reform and did not want to be with the elderly, thinking that their movements were too slow; He refused to contact his family because he didn't want to burden them and believed that one person should do things one by one; Refusing to speak at the review meeting on transforming one's life is because one thinks it's not good to say it, it's better not to say it.
"He is good at socializing among inmates, but has distant and indifferent relationships with his family. In daily rehabilitation, his self-control ability is also poor, his emotions are unstable, and he often conflicts with others due to trivial matters." 39 year old He Chenjun, who has been in the police for 15 years, is an intermediate orthodontist, a second level psychological counselor, and also a member of the "climber" education and transformation team in the sixth prison district. This is an 8-person team, consisting of intermediate orthodontists, second level psychological counselors, as well as outstanding supervising police officers and business backbone. They have overcome difficulties in the education and transformation of difficult to change criminals, successfully educating and correcting many difficult to change objects like Qiu.
Nanhui Prison Collective Consultation and Observation Meeting
In response to Qiu's situation, the team conducted a case consultation, and everyone analyzed that Qiu's refusal to plead guilty was due to his resentment towards the victim's prosecution. Under the surface of his negative transformation, he adopted a "soft resistance" behavior due to his frustration. So it was decided to adopt a parallel approach of encouragement and motivation in management, affirming his strengths, encouraging him to face his shortcomings, be brave enough to correct mistakes, and help him seek breakthroughs in active transformation.
The orthodontic team collaborated with the prison's mental health studio and mental health department to provide psychological counseling multiple times based on Qiu's application, gaining a deeper understanding of his mental state and striving to uncover more valuable clues. After gradually gaining the trust of Qiu, the correctional team actively communicated with the prison office and invited a team of lawyers to come to the prison for legal consultation services. After hearing the lawyer interpret the relevant provisions of the Civil Code on the property of both men and women during marriage and love, Qiu realized that his behavior not only violated national laws, but also had a more malicious nature. After listening to the lawyer's interpretation of the definition of fraud in the Criminal Law, he further realized that his actions met the constituent elements of fraud.
The correction team also conducted a series of psychological interventions on Qiu, such as sand table games and Fang Shuren, to make him realize that his actions not only caused financial losses to the victim, but also emotionally hurt the other party. His refusal to plead guilty will deepen the pain of the victim, disappoint his parents, distance his daughter, and even affect his return to society.
Criminal talk
In order to further correct the guilty attitude of the criminal Qiu, the correction team decided to use family affection as the starting point and first contact Qiu's family. During the phone conversation, the police helped Qiu and his family eliminate the barriers in their hearts. With Qiu's consent, they opened a family phone call and the family said they would write letters to Qiu every month.
In early August this year, Qiu received his family's remittance for the first time, and then received a letter from home. Taking the letter from home and reading about his family's concerns and expectations for him, Qiu, who was usually rebellious, choked up and said to the police, "Officer, I confess!" Then, he wrote a confession letter with great care overnight and solemnly handed it to the police.
Ni Qiyao, a 35 year old intermediate level corrector and police officer, said, "Team correction for difficult to correct criminals like Qiu requires close cooperation among team members and the comprehensive use of various methods and means. By establishing trust with him, intervening in multiple aspects, guiding his ideological transformation, and then providing family support, we can better help him embark on the path of confession and repentance."
"In our education and rehabilitation team, each member can leverage their professional strengths, complement each other's strengths, and provide more comprehensive and in-depth support for the transformation of difficult to rehabilitate criminals." Zhang Lei, the director of the Six Prison Districts, said, "Through team rehabilitation, we can more deeply understand the psychological state and problems of difficult to rehabilitate criminals, and provide them with more comprehensive and targeted rehabilitation plans. Team cooperation and efforts have brought hope for the transformation of difficult to rehabilitate criminals and made positive contributions to their secondary social integration."
In the 16 years since its establishment, Nanhui Prison has not only explored team correction for difficult to reform criminals, but also carried out reading activities, intangible cultural heritage production, cultural and artistic activities, May Song Festival, and other activities within the prison to cater to the characteristics of elderly, sick, and disabled criminals, silently influencing criminals and creating a prison correction work brand.
