(Authorized by the Prison Affairs Committee
and implemented on July 16th, 2002) | |
|
1 |
Before returning home, our inmates should first go to register at the local police station (the branch police office) with their ‘Home Visit Certificate.’ |
|
2 |
Our inmates should promptly return back to the prison, as designated on their ‘Home Visit Certificate.’ |
|
3 |
During the home-visit period, inmates should be well-behaved. Our inmates should not roam about or go to any indecent places. |
|
4 |
Our inmates should not make unnecessary appointments, gamble, or buy lottery tickets. They should not take drugs or alcohol. They should not drive at speed or carry out any illegal acts. It is absolutely forbidden to drive after drinking. Any inmate who returns back to our prison with the smell of alcohol is not entitled to apply for the next home visit. |
|
5 |
Our inmates should not keep in contact with gangsters or bad friends in order to avoid happenings of troubles and delays in returning to the prison. |
|
6 |
Inmates should behave themselves. They should not carry out any act which does damage to the prison’s reputation or take revenge on their enemies. |
|
7 |
If any natural disaster or unavoidable disaster or accident happens, the road back to the prison may be closed by damage or transportation paralyzed. Our inmates cannot then return to the prison on time. Or other drastic situations may happen, meaning that they could not come back to the prison on time, for instance, having emergency hospital treatment or encountering the death of inmates’ parents, their spouses, or their children. In such cases, our inmate should contact our prison as soon as possible: Service line: (06) 5782400; (06) 5783281 and tell us what happens. We will quickly decide another day on which they should return. After being permitted to extend the home visit period, the inmate should hand in an ‘accident certificate.’ If our inmates have stayed at a public hospital, they need to collect and supply us with this certificate issued by the hospital. |
|
8 |
If our inmates are late returning to the prison because they were involved in a car accident on the way back, their vehicle broke down or a traffic jam, they should contact us as soon as possible. If it is a car accident, our inmate’s car must be taken away. Our inmate should ask the local police office, where the accident took place, and get a certificate. Then, the proof becomes sufficient. |
|
9 |
Our inmates should show a ‘Home Visit Certificate’ and ‘Family Communication Book’ to their visiting family for a signature and a record of their arrival and departure time. When they come back to the prison, they should have the signatures of the Chief Guard at the main entrance and the director of Central Station. |
|
10 |
Our inmates should pay attention to the time to come back to the prison, the deadline of a home visit. They’d better take an early leave in case of delay in the time for in-prison registration. |
|
11 |
If our inmates have no good reason to explain why they do not come back to the prison in time as regulated, they will be charged with attempted escape. |
|
12 |
When coming back and registering, our inmates should have only light luggage. What they bring in should be handled according to the Rules Concerning In-Prison Objects announced by our prison. Forbidden objects are strictly disallowed for bringing in to the prison. |
|
13 |
If there is any violation of the above-mentioned regulations, the inmate should be punished according to the prison’s rules. If there is any illegal act, the inmate will be prosecuted according to law. |
|
14 |
After these rules are authorized by the Prison Affairs Committee, they take effect. The procedures to make amendments are the same. |
|
|
 |
|
1 |
The purpose is to strengthen our public service to the families of our inmates. We hope that when they come to our prison and ask for information or service, they can receive the best service and respect. We wish to set a model for other civil service institutions – that’s why we provide Points about Service to Inmates. |
|
2 |
When our inmates’ families come to our prison for information or for service, our on-duty officials should pay attention to their dress, their ways of talking and behaviour. They should greet visitors warmly, saying ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you.’ When visitors leave the prison, our officials should say ‘Goodbye! Have a good day!’ |
|
3 |
On-duty personnel should be familiar with the related regulations and rules. They should be patient and friendly to explain in detail about the enquired matters. |
|
4 |
When there is a necessary inspection of physical bodies or other inspection matters, our official should pay enough respect to avoid physical insults. For examples, male officials are not allowed to touch female bodies and can use metal detectors instead. The inspected objects should be returned so as not to cause public disorder and complaints or to do damage to the image of the authority. |
|
5 |
If the enquiry is not within the business range of the official, he or she helps to pass the call to another official in charge who can explain things better. Thus we can avoid incomplete instructions or mistakes or confusion. We will not leave the public with a bad impression of our public service. |
|
6 |
Our personnel should actively provide what inmates’ families need. They should not deliberately evade such duty. |
|
7 |
Our officials should check whether all the facilities function, and whether something needs to be added in the waiting room, meeting room, without being told. They should keep the rooms neat and clean so that visiting families can have a nice environment to make their inquiries or to meet inmates. |
|
8 |
These points are ratified by the Superintendent. Then these rules are authorized by the Prison Affairs Committee and take effect. The procedures to make amendments are the same. |
