Presentation transcript:

 For almost 18 years 39 unrecorded rapes occurred in Gan Su, as Chinese officials secretly stated. The perpetrator who was initially unknown was discovered to be one Mr. Luo. It was revealed that Mr.Luo had attack elementary school girls as young as 12 years old. From sep 1997 to 1998, court officials said that he used lies and different ploys to isolate his victims. In one case a 12 years old students was reported to have been raped 10 times by Mr.Luo. the victim refused to report the incidents due to fear of social stigma. After it was eventually by another victim on august 21, 2006,Mr. Luo under arrest for suspicion of rape and child molestation. After a police inquiry, they found substantial evidence to support testimony against him. They found out the injured has more than 30 girls, the time spam from 1997 continued until before the incident. However, because some of the victim do not want to mention the past, they don’t want stand up and against him. Some girls from the start of primary school are raped until they graduated from primary school, which even included his granddaughter.

 In June 2007 PingLiang Intermediate People’s Court start opened its case against Mr.Luo. he was convicted of forcible rape, indecent child crime, compulsory indecent woman crime. Yan Li Luo was been put to death because of forcible rape. He has been deprived of political rights for whole life.

In Chinese prison services, there have been various new ways of mobilizing public participation in helping re-mould prisoners. For example, famous scholars, writers, educators, artists, musicians and sportspeople are invited to call on prisoners, and encourage them to make more efforts to reform themselves; former prisoners who have been already integrated into the society after release are organized to persuade current inmates to re-mould themselves; family members, relatives and friends of the prisoners are encouraged and provided with every facility to admonish and educate them.

 There are about 1.65 million prisoner in the Chinese prison.

 Although the prisoners still have human rights, the legal concept of the Chinese are still weak. The government will only take away some right from the prisoners. The prisoners should be held criminally responsible for his actions. Prisoners are deprived of their liberty, but they still have human rights. They can still appeal or vote.

 The Criminal Law provides that Principal Punishments are classified as control, criminal detention, fixed term imprisonment, life imprisonment and death penalty.

 Control is a criminal penalty imposed for minor offences. The offender continues to work in his place of employment and continues to receive his normal wages, while undergoing the supervision of the public security organs (police) and the masses. He is required to make periodical reports on his circumstances to the public security organ concerned.

 Criminal detention is a criminal penalty imposed for relatively minor offences, and totally different from pre- trial detention. The criminal on whom this penalty is imposed is deprived of his freedom and confined in a detention house by the local organ of public security rather than being put in prison. He may go home for one or two days each month and be paid for work. The term of fixed-term imprisonment is not less than six months and nor more than fifteen years. An offender sentenced to fixed term imprisonment or life imprisonment is to have his sentence executed in prison or in other place for reform through labour. Reform through labour is to be carried out on any offender who is imprisoned, as long as he has the ability to labour.

 The death penalty is only to be applied to those offenders who commit the most heinous crimes. The Criminal Law provides for two types of death penalty viz. death penalty with two year suspension of execution and death penalty without suspension of execution. The Law stipulates that in the case of a criminal who should be sentenced to death, but for whom immediate execution is not essential, a two-year suspension of execution may be pronounced at the time the sentence of death is imposed; the criminal will be put into prison and reform-through- labour carried out and the results observed. If the criminal truly repents during the period of suspension, he is to be given a reduction of sentence to life imprisonment upon the expiration of the two-year period; and, if he not only truly repents but also demonstrates meritorious service, he is to be given a reduction of sentence to not less than fifteen years and not more than twenty years of fixed-term imprisonment upon the expiration of the period. Only those who have resisted reform in an odious manner, provided the evidence of such behaviour is verified, are to be executed upon a ruling or an approval of the Supreme Court.

 Offenders who have been sentenced to detention, fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment or the death penalty with suspension of execution, provided that they can work, are obligated to work. Under the basic policy of "reform through labour", emphasis is placed on educating and redeeming prisoners to law abiding citizens through daily labour in the institutions. The purpose of this policy is considered to re-mould their ideology, freeing them from bad influence and habits, and to resocialize them into someone who can live on their own labour and are useful to society. Labour is considered to be a principal measure of reforming criminals, though it is not the only one.  The system of reform-through labour has been said to be effective and successful over the past forty years. It is reported that, according to some sample statistics, among those who have served a term of imprisonment, 4-6% of them committed a crime again after release.
