How to Escort Prisoners Back Home on Train 1.0

For some people, preparing for a train journey is either fun, part of their job or sheer hard work. But very few could have worked as painstakingly as Wang Qing did last week.

Wang is head of a Beijing prison guard team. He was to lead 24 prison guards to escort 88 prisoners back to their places of birth in Central China's Hubei and Hunan provinces, according to a report in the Beijing Times.

Fourty-six were to be handed over to police at Wuhan railway station, and the rest at Changsha Railway Station, to serve out their sentences in the provinces where they were born.
