Inspection of prisons intensified

By Xie Chuanjiao | China Daily | Updated: 2009-03-13 07:45

Judicial authorities will intensify the inspection of prisons, with more manpower and surprise checks, to prevent inmates from being bullied or tortured, senior prosecutors said yesterday.

"The inspection of the country's detention houses and prisons has always been one of our major tasks. But this year, we will pay special attention to it," said Procurator-General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) Cao Jianming on the sidelines of the ongoing session of the National People's Congress (NPC).

Cao's remarks came just weeks after an inmate was beaten to death by another detainee at a detention facility in Yunnan province.
