As long as we, "according to the law, strict, scientific and civilized" management, we can eliminate the non-normal deaths.

Q: Why have non-normal mortality problem?

Reporter: How to understand "the detention center is no small matter?"

This requires constant vigilance in the work of civilian police, such as seeing a difference in the monitoring area needle, Boli Cha and other small things that most people would not think that means, but the police must pay attention, because these small things are likely to commit suicide, self-mutilation and even attack . Meanwhile, the police should pay close attention to daily monitoring of detainees in indoor activities.

Example, by the summer of 2008, a newly recruited staff is very uncomfortable because of drug seizures, to tobacco smoke, civilian police reported to me that the man's personal circumstances, I might grant him smoked a cigarette. Especially grateful to the man inside out by the time we have to kneel to thank.
