Can inmates request to stay in prison and work after serving their sentences?

Prison police officers are civil servants; employees have a formal establishment. Even the assistant police officers recruited by many prisons in recent years must pass strict assessments before being hired. And the assisting police officers cannot engage in law enforcement work on the front line of supervision. Ex-convicts who want to apply for the assistant police examination are simply not qualified.

It was a long time ago that prisoners stayed to work in prisons after serving their sentences

From the 1950s to the mid-1970s, the national policy at that time was to punish those who had committed heinous crimes and had public outrage. Serious criminal offenders who are violent, gang-related, cult-related, etc. will not be released after serving their sentences and are forced to stay in the prison to work. They will be paid as temporary workers as appropriate. In addition, their urban household registration will be canceled as a punishment for some serious criminal offences. The second punishment of the elements was because urban household registration was expensive at that time, so it did have a certain deterrent and punishment effect.

However, these people who were forced to stay on the job at that time were later turned into formal workers by the state and enjoyed the treatment of formal workers. So in the long run, these people don't actually suffer.

In the early 1980s, similar policies were gradually abolished. In the future, prisoners who have been released from prison will return to their places of origin and no longer stay in prison. In recent years, some prisoners who have been released from prison and have no relatives or real estate at home have often asked to stay and work in the prison. However, the country does not have a policy in this regard, so when such a thing happens, the prison can do nothing. If necessary, contact the government of the place of residence.

At this stage, this is impossible

1. Prisons belong to state agencies and departments, and the staff working in prisons are police officers who are civil servants. The recruitment of civil servants has a very rigorous and stringent procedure. Although a prisoner is a free person in society after serving his sentence, there is no reason for him to stay in prison and work. Not to mention that you do not meet the recruitment procedures for civil servants. Even if you stay, you will not be qualified for the job.

2. The prison will also recruit some contract workers from the society from time to time, but those contract workers all have special skills or other reasons, and the number of recruits is very small. As a person who has just served his sentence, you have no ability to compete with other candidates, and there is basically no chance of winning!

3. The prison has clear regulations on the whereabouts of inmates after serving their sentences. On the day of expiration, the local judicial department must dispatch at least one staff member to assist the inmates’ families in receiving them together. There are strict registration procedures after returning to the local area, and their behavior trends over a long period of time are closely monitored to prevent the released prisoners from committing crimes again.

4. From the perspective of prison control security, it is impossible to allow a released person to work in the prison. Because each criminal has served a long term in one prison and is extremely familiar with the various prison facilities and prisoners, it is inevitable that some violations of the regulations will occur. Once an accident occurs, it will cause incalculable serious consequences!

Why are so few ex-offenders staying on the job now?

The retention of persons released from prison is a problem left over from history. As time goes by, the number of persons retained has gradually increased, and many unpredictable problems have arisen. First, employers dump the burden on farms and are unwilling to accept ex-offenders for employment. Second, the nature of work on the farm has changed from physical labor to some simple processing and manufacturing industries, and there are no redundant positions for people who have been released from prison. Third, some well-connected people find ways to stay in prison through prison guards, which can easily lead to corruption. After 1984, the state gradually abolished the policy of detaining prisoners after their release from prison, and eliminated some unqualified detainees. However, farm associations and sub-district village committees provide assistance to disabled and homeless ex-convicts.

However, for those released from prison who have outstanding performance on the farm and have special skills, including scientific and technical personnel, engineers, doctors, etc., they can be formally hired with the consent of the farm authorities and submitted to the Labor Reform Bureau for approval. Generally, the probability of a person who has been released from prison staying in prison is very small and basically impossible. Therefore, there is no requirement to stay in prison. You can only start a new life after being released from prison, and don't go in again
