"I am a retired Chinese language teacher, 79 years old this year. My imagination of prison used to come from the terrifying descriptions in" Prison Miscellaneous Records ". When my son first entered prison, I couldn't understand it very well. I am a teacher, my lover has been in the military for 40 years, and there are intellectuals and soldiers around me. Why did my son end up in prison?" Grandma Wang's voice choked up. "Later, when I visited Beixinjing Prison, I felt at ease. This is really a very modern and civilized prison, and the police are very principled and caring. Seeing my age, they always greet me. My son is also sensible inside and said he wants to reform well and strive to come out early."
On August 24th, the opening day of Beixinjing Prison, law enforcement supervisors, family members of criminals, and representatives of society entered the prison to get up close to understand the prison's work and supervise law enforcement. Grandma Wang is one of them. Although she has visited the prison several times before, this is the first time she has truly walked into the big wall and fully understood her son's rehabilitation life.

Wu Jingfei, the head of the second prison district, introduced that the prison is the smallest entity in prison work.

They use methods such as collective evaluation, health inspection meetings, and internal affairs evaluations to promote legal education, reasoning, and education. Only by carrying out their actions can they correct their hearts and improve their morals, which ensures the atmosphere of criminal internal affairs management and reform.
