Why did the once popular "couples' room" in prisons disappear?
Prisons are not only solitary confinement rooms, but also "couples' rooms".
As the name suggests, it is a place where wives can spend a night with their husbands when they visit them in prison.
But at the beginning of the century, couples' rooms all over China disappeared. Why?
Prisons first set up couples' rooms with the original intention of protecting the sexual rights of criminals, increasing the opportunities for close contact between criminals and their relatives, and relieving the pressure of reform.
It's just that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. The original intention was good, but it was taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.
Some girlfriends took certificates from the village and street offices to stay overnight in couples' rooms.
Out of humanitarianism, most prisons agreed.
As a result, the situation got out of control, and many fallen women pretended to be married partners to visit the prison. Later, there were even escorts who clearly marked the price to visit the prison.
The prison couples' rooms were regarded as places of pleasure, and the prison police accidentally became pimps.
According to rumors, a major safety accident occurred in a prison couple's room. A criminal and a fallen woman had a special fetish when discussing life. Because of the overly intense action, the woman died accidentally.
The upper level was furious, so prisons across the country urgently stopped the "couple's room".
Looking at this incident, the lesson left to us is heavy.
Many times, it is not that the prison does not consider prisoners. On the contrary, the prison has been thinking and practicing how to reform prisoners.
But in the end, they all failed one by one in front of society.
Take the simplest criminal record system as an example. The prison has made great efforts to teach prisoners that they can get high labor remuneration by being down-to-earth.
As a result, many companies in society do not give criminal record personnel the opportunity to work.
So criminal record personnel return to poverty and finally become more and more prison.
Reforming prisoners has never been the business of one person or one institution. It requires the whole society to reach a consensus and form a joint force. If prisoners are reformed, it is not just one person who benefits, but the whole society.
The disappearance of prison couple's rooms reminds us again that as long as there is desire, there will be evil.
We are not fighting the law, but ourselves.
It is easy to defeat the thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to defeat the thief in the heart.
