Returning to prison again, Liu Fan (a pseudonym) has some feelings.
"Is the company’s income high?" "How do you get along with your colleagues?" … … Under the rostrum, former prisoners kept asking questions.
This time, Liu Fan, who participated in the on-site simulated job fair for returnees of Guanghua Prison in Shayang, Hubei Province together with the person in charge of the company, turned into an "interviewer". Liu Fanfan is a released prisoner in Shayang Guanghua Prison. Recommended by the prison police, he entered an electronic product production company in Guangdong, and now he has become the technical backbone of the company.
"Being educated and reformed in prison has made my life start again, and the trust and support of the company have given me new life opportunities." Liu Fan said.
It is a concrete manifestation of Shayang Guanghua Prison’s practice of the new concept of "five major transformations" to "open" the job fair into the prison and invite released prisoners to show up.
On January 4th this year, Hubei Provincial Prison Administration held a meeting to promote the pilot work of "Five Major Reforms" model prisons in Shayang Guanghua Prison, and summarized the working experience of each pilot prison. In order to implement the new requirements of the Ministry of Justice on the "Five Major Reforms" of prison work, which is "guided by political reform, promoting supervision reform, education reform, cultural reform and labor reform as a whole", in 2018, the Party Committee of Hubei Provincial Prison Administration deployed and carried out pilot projects of demonstration prisons with the "Five Major Reforms" as the main contents in Shayang Guanghua Prison, Xianning Prison, Hanjiang Prison and Huangzhou Prison.

As small as a toothbrush and a pen are shortened; The water temperature of prisoners’ drinking water should be controlled at about 70 degrees after boiling, so as not to hurt people by boiling water … … During the observation in Shayang Guanghua Prison, the small details carefully set in the prison area won praises from the participants.
"In order to strengthen political reform, we require prisoners to take political reform classes from the time they enter the prison, regularly raise the national flag, watch red movies, and also hold activities such as theme essay writing and red song contest, so that political culture can enter the prison area and enter the prison house, realizing full coverage of the whole process of political reform."

"The pilot demonstration prison is an important measure to implement the work deployment of the Ministry of Justice, an important content to implement the comprehensive deepening reform work of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, and an important starting point for promoting prison work." Hao Aimin said that in the next step, the province’s prison system will set an example in nine aspects, such as improving the quality of prisoners’ reform, standardizing law enforcement, intelligent construction, reform and innovation, cultural construction, party building and discipline style, so as to continuously improve the overall management level of prisons.
