　　The website of the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection recently announced that Kong Lingcheng, the former party secretary and prison director of Wudu Prison in Gansu Province, was expelled from the party and public office for serious violations of discipline and law.

　　According to the official report, Kong Lingcheng seriously damaged the political ecology of Wudu Prison, led to the destruction of the team, and caused many party members and cadres in Wudu Prison to violate discipline and law. It should be dealt with seriously.

　　In addition to Kong Lingcheng, the reporter combed and found that since this year, many officials of the prison system have been investigated.

Prisons are the state’s penalty enforcement organs, and they must be fair and just in the process of law enforcement. However, some party members and cadres in the prison system engage in rent-seeking for power, and violate regulations and laws by "commutation of sentences, parole, and temporary execution outside prison", violating party discipline and state laws, and undermining judicial justice.

　　Discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels continue to maintain high-pressure deterrence, severely investigate and deal with the prison system's bribery and bribery, abuse of power, dereliction of duty, and "temporary reduction" of favoritism and fraud. Adhere to treating both symptoms and root causes, connect the supervision system of the prison system with the governance system, integrate the improvement of supervision quality and efficiency with the rectification of chronic diseases, and strive to eradicate the breeding ground for corruption.

The "top leaders" of the prison system should know the law, but some party members and leading cadres are lawless and reckless, engaging in power rent-seeking

　　In September this year, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission announced that Ma Lin, the former party secretary and director of the Yunnan Provincial Prison Administration, was expelled from the party.

　　After investigation, Ma Lin lost his ideals and beliefs, had no sense of discipline and rules, enforced laws and broke the law, ruined the atmosphere of the Yunnan prison system, polluted the political ecology of the Yunnan prison system, transferred and concealed evidence, and resisted organizational review; received gifts and cash in violation of regulations , accepting banquets and travel arrangements that may affect the fair execution of official duties; violating organizational principles, using power to seek benefits for others in the process of cadre recruitment and job promotion, and not truthfully explaining problems when organizing inquiries.

　　As a cadre of the judicial system, Marin should have known the law, but turned to the opposite side of the law.

The case of Marin is not an isolated case. In recent years, leaders of the prison management system in many places have been sacked, and some of them have been sentenced.

　　Almost at the same time that Ma Lin was notified, Zhao Jincheng, the former party secretary and director of the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Justice, was notified to be expelled from the party and public office.

In Zhao Jincheng's resume, he served as the "top leader" of the Provincial Prison Administration Bureau for five years.

　　In the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, there have also been many cases of the "top leaders" of the prison system being dropped.

In recent years, Xu Huhe, the former party secretary and director of the Justice Department of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and secretary of the Party Committee of the Prison Administration of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Lian Tianjun, the former deputy inspector of the Prison Administration of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xu Hongguang, the former director of the Prison Administration of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and others have been arrested for serious crimes. Violations of discipline and law were investigated.

　　Sorting out the relevant cases, a key word appeared repeatedly - "less holidays".

"Reduction of leave" is an abbreviation for commutation, parole, and temporary execution outside prison during the execution of punishment.

For a period of time, in the prison system, violations of laws and regulations and the issue of "temporary holiday reduction" have occurred many times, which has seriously affected the credibility of the judiciary.

　　Xu Huhe's disciplinary notice mentioned that he was seriously irresponsible in his work and neglected the management of officials in the judicial and prison systems, which caused many people to suffer major problems such as favoritism, fraud and commutation of sentences, temporary execution outside prison, etc., which seriously undermined judicial justice, and Arbitrary use of power by oneself, illegal intervention and intervention of criminals and commutation of sentences.

　　"Purchase money to buy punishment", "serve sentence on paper", "get out of prison with money"... The reporter learned that most of the case notifications to the "top leaders" in the prison system involved "using their powers to facilitate gangsters to obtain lighter sentences and help them reduce their sentences." "" Handling favoritism cases, relationship cases, money cases, muddled cases" and other issues.

　　Some time ago, Li Jian, former party secretary and director of the Prison Administration Bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, was sentenced to 14 years in prison at first instance.

Li Jian violated the law by enforcing the law, took advantage of his position, repeatedly violated the facts of the case and the law, and provided help for prisoners to obtain lighter sentences.

　　As the "top leader" of the autonomous region's prison system, Li Jian should have been in awe, obeyed the law, and played a leading role among party members and cadres.

However, he turned a blind eye to the determination of the Party Central Committee to fight corruption and punish evil. Under the high pressure of the anti-corruption struggle, he acted lawlessly and recklessly, seriously polluting the political ecology of the prison system, destroying the credibility of the execution of penalties, and damaging the image of the political and legal team.

　　After the case was investigated and dealt with, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection supervised and urged the launch of a special action to purify the political ecology of the political and legal system.

The Disciplinary Commission of the Autonomous Region, the resident agencies, and political and legal units worked together to talk to more than 1,700 key personnel, and quickly checked and dealt with clues on issues involving Li Jian's violations of interference cases, intervening in projects, and handling "temporary holiday reduction".

　　"Under strong deterrence, 492 people at the district level have taken the initiative to explain the problem, including 75 prosecutors and police officers, and 14 prison officers and police officers." The relevant person in charge of the Disciplinary Commission of the autonomous region said.

Abuse of power by the "key minority", commutation of sentences for violations of regulations, false bail for medical treatment... typical cases have revealed that some prison party organizations dare not supervise, do not want to supervise, and do not know how to supervise

　　The abuse of power by the "key minority" in some local prison systems accounts for a large proportion of the cases that have been investigated and dealt with.

　　In some prisons, the "top leader" has absolute authority in the prison, and the individual has the final say.

Some superior "top leaders" do not supervise the subordinate "top leaders" in place.

Some prison leaders also serve as the person in charge of the prison unit, with centralized power and great discretion.

　　Judging from the manifestations of corruption in the prison system, the "temporary reduction of holidays" for violating regulations and laws has become a fast track for some individuals to try to get away with it.

　　Commutation, as a system for changing the execution of punishment, embodies the party and state's policy of combining punishment with reform, and combining strict punishment with leniency.

According to relevant laws and judicial interpretations, the procedure for commutation is that the prison where the prisoner is located proposes a proposal for commutation, and the procuratorate implements legal supervision over the submission, trial, and ruling of commutation, and a collegial panel is formed by the intermediate court above the place where the sentence is to be served. Decide on whether to commute the sentence.

　　However, judicial staff in some prisons engage in malpractices for personal gain by providing help for criminals in obtaining bonus points, fabricating reports of criminals who over-fulfilled production tasks, and concealing the criminal facts of criminals in the evaluation opinion column of social survey forms to reduce sentences. It has become a springboard for some prisoners to escape sanctions and escape from "prison".

　　Similar to this, medical parole is a manifestation of humanized care and the humanization of the judiciary. Some prisoners and their families have bribed prison administrators and used power and money to open them up as "privileged channels."

　　Yang Xuesheng, the former warden of Luzhou Prison in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, took advantage of his position as Secretary of the Party Committee and Warden of Guangxi Zhongdu Prison, and knew that the criminal Li XX was not allowed to be released on medical parole for "criminals with serious crimes and great public outrage" stipulated in the "Measures for the Implementation of Medical Bail for Criminals". The criminal still accepted the request of Li's nephew, Li, to sign and agree that the criminal, Li, would continue to be released on medical parole, temporarily served outside prison and reported for parole, resulting in Li being temporarily served outside prison and released on parole.

In the end, Yang Xuesheng was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison and fined 200,000 yuan by the Yufeng District People's Court of Liuzhou City for committing crimes of favoritism, fraud, parole, temporary execution outside prison, and accepting bribes.

　　In addition, in some prisons, "micro-corruption" of the "goose plucking hair" style is also more prominent.

Prison police use their powers of punishment execution and supervision to seek personal gains. Some prison guards accept property from criminals and their families and provide care for criminals in violation of regulations. A few prison guards even take the initiative to ask for bribes by deception.

　　In August of this year, the Central Politics and Law Committee publicly notified seven typical cases of leading cadres interfering in judicial activities, meddling in the handling of specific cases, interfering with cases by judicial officials, and improper contacts.

Two of them were related to prison guards abusing their power and bending the law for personal gain.

　　From 2019 to 2021, Yang Haixiang, the third-level police chief of Sanya Prison in Hainan Province, has repeatedly received RMB 17,000 from the family members of criminals for the purchase of cigarettes and other items and his own expenses. use.

Yang Haixiang received a warning from the party and a warning from the government.

　　Some cases have exposed the weak supervision and discipline of the prison system.

Party organizations in some prisons dare not supervise, do not want to supervise, and do not know how to supervise, and individual grassroots prison discipline inspection and supervision agencies have even filed no cases for a long time.

　　An important reason for this problem is the lack of coordination mechanism.

In some areas, the departments directly under the Prison Administration Bureau, the provincial (district, city) discipline inspection and supervision committee stationed in the provincial (district, city) judicial department discipline inspection and supervision team, and the discipline inspection and supervision working committee of the directly affiliated institutions have not straightened out the relationship, and some links have broken the supervision chain, resulting in The grassroots prison discipline inspection committees are not operating efficiently.

　　Therefore, it is particularly critical to integrate various supervision forces.

"It is necessary to formulate a system of cooperation and cooperation between the discipline inspection and supervision agencies (institutions) and the prison system discipline inspection agencies." The relevant person in charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region suggested, "Establish stationed agencies, discipline inspection agencies within the prison system and prison discipline inspection commissions. Strengthen the two-way notification and two-way transfer mechanism of clues to problems in the prison system, and strengthen the joint force of supervision.”

Guided by problems, explore the mechanism of "on-site supervision", build a pattern of "big supervision", and promote the rectification of stubborn diseases in the prison system to achieve effective results

　　In September this year, the discipline inspection and supervision team of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision in the Judiciary Department of the Autonomous Region announced that Wang Guojie, the former party secretary, warden, and first-level senior police sergeant of Guigang Prison in Guangxi, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. Disciplinary review by the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the Department and the supervision and investigation by the Guigang Municipal Supervisory Committee.

　　This is a microcosm of the discipline inspection and supervision organs of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region increasing the supervision and enforcement of the prison system.

The reporter learned that in 2021, the discipline inspection and supervision organs of the autonomous region filed and investigated 260 cases of violations of discipline and law by prison officers and police, of which 216 cases were filed by prison discipline inspection agencies.

　　"Thanks to the reform of the system and mechanism in terms of exploring station supervision, compacting the 'two responsibilities', and integrating supervision forces, it has effectively promoted the quality and efficiency of the anti-corruption work in the prison system." The relevant person in charge of the Autonomous Region Discipline Inspection Commission express.

　　The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, together with the Party Committee of the Judicial Department of the Autonomous Region, issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving the Supervision, Disciplinary, and Accountability Work of the Prison System in the Region", and established a "station supervision" mechanism. The team leader and a discipline inspection and supervision office are permanently stationed in the Prison Administration of the Autonomous Region, responsible for supervising and enforcing discipline and law enforcement of the prison system, and strengthening the supervision of the Autonomous Region Prison Administration's research on "three major and one major" matters.

　　"In this way, the handling of clues and review of cases by the prison discipline inspection agency must be reported to the discipline inspection and supervision team of the Judicial Department of the Autonomous Region, further strengthening the leadership and guiding responsibilities of the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the Judicial Department of the Autonomous Region in investigating and handling cases, which is conducive to increasing anti-corruption The intensity of the work.” Said the relevant person in charge of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the Autonomous Region Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision in the Autonomous Region Judiciary Department.

　　From "individual combat" to "coordinated combat".

By breaking down institutional barriers, promoting the integration of supervision, improving quality and efficiency, and coordinating and coordinating various supervisions is the key to cohesive supervision and synergy.

　　The reporter found that the discipline inspection and supervision agencies in many places have implemented "departments, departments, departments and bureaus" to coordinate joint handling of cases, establish and improve the mechanism for sharing supervision information, strengthen the connection with procuratorial agencies in investigating and prosecuting judicial personnel's illegal and criminal activities, and integrate and revitalize the supervision and discipline enforcement forces of the prison system.

　　The Sixth Supervision and Inspection Office of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Committee of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, successfully handled the case of Yin Qiang, the former fourth-level police chief of the Southern Suburb Prison, in a relatively short period of time through the cooperation of "room organization and ground".

"The most obvious manifestation is that the proportion of problem clues handled by the stationed agencies has changed from 'nowhere to start' to 'confirmed cases' is getting higher and higher." said Wu Jibin, a staff member of the office.

　　According to the person in charge of the Hangzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, through long-term practice, they have gradually developed a collaborative model in which the "group" conducts inspections under the coordination and guidance of the "room", and after fixing key evidence, it is handed over to the "ground" for review and investigation. Improved the quality and efficiency of case handling.

　　"The discipline inspection and supervision team has the advantage of being 'in'. Under the guidance of the supervision and inspection office, it is easier to find the direction of breakthrough and find the core evidence. Undertaking, not only solves the problem of weak discipline inspection and supervision team and low case success rate, but also helps to reduce the verification time." The relevant person in charge of the Hangzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said.

　　Inspection and inspection, as an important method of inner-party supervision, is a "political physical examination" for party organizations at all levels.

Through the establishment and implementation of inspection and inspection systems for the prison system, all localities have discovered problems, promoted reforms, and effectively played the deterrent, deterrent, and fundamental role of inspections and inspections.

　　Heilongjiang Province pays attention to inspection and inspection linkage. While the inspection team of the Provincial Party Committee inspects the Party Committee of the Provincial Prison Administration Bureau, the Party Committee of the Provincial Department of Justice simultaneously conducts inspections on the Party Committees of two provincial prisons, and the Harbin Municipal Party Committee conducts upgrade inspections on the Party Committees of two municipal prisons.

The inspection and inspection team carried out supervision and inspection based on the responsibilities of the prison system, focusing on key areas and key links such as the daily management of criminals, assessment and rewards, execution of penalties, and engineering construction, and digging deep into the responsibility issues, corruption issues, and work style issues behind the problems.

　　Rectification is the "second half of the article" in the inspection and inspection work.

Only by seeing the truth in rectification and reform can we truly promote reform, construction and governance through inspection.

　　Not long ago, the Party Committee of the Department of Justice of Heilongjiang Province found in the investigation and statistics that the party organizations of grass-roots prisons had a large proportion of unfinished rectification problems, and asked the Party Committee of the Provincial Prison Administration to ensure the effectiveness of inspection and rectification as a premise to upgrade and handle unfinished rectification items.

The Party Committee of the Provincial Prison Administration Bureau set up a special class to reorganize the problem, and hand over the suspected violation of discipline to the discipline inspection department for handling.

　　"We put the application of inspection results in a more important position, upgrade and rectify common problems found in inspections, focus on key areas, highlight problem orientation, drive comprehensive rectification with key breakthroughs, and insist on the joint efforts of all parties to form a joint force for rectification and reform. Inspection feedback issues are 'bottomed out and cleared'." said the relevant person in charge of the Inspection Office of the Party Committee of the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Justice.
