Can prison staff pay social security?

Legal analysis: you can't participate in social insurance and enjoy social security benefits during your sentence. At the same time, you can't renew your insurance during your sentence, but you can continue to pay after you get out of prison, and you can combine the previous payment to calculate the number of years. If a retiree dies during serving his sentence or reeducation through labor, the individual contributions in his personal account can be inherited according to regulations.

Legal basis: Article 2 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) The state establishes social insurance systems such as basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, etc., to protect citizens' right to get material help from the state and society according to law in case of old age, illness, industrial injury, unemployment and maternity.
