CCTV News:Recently, the news that Luo Guoqing, former member of the Standing Committee of Quanzhou Municipal Committee of Fujian Province and former secretary of Nan ‘an Municipal Committee, was ruled by the court not to reduce his sentence triggered a heated discussion in society. Luo Guoqing, who was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment for accepting bribes and confiscated 2 million yuan of property, spent 3.94.29 yuan per month in the case of 2 million yuan of property punishment, which was beyond the standard. The court held that Luo Guoqing failed to actively perform the penalty of property punishment and failed to eliminate the social impact of criminal acts.
There are still some duty criminals like Luo Guoqing whose application for commutation was rejected. They are all officials who used to be in power, but now they are prisoners because of "greed".
Inside the high wall, they shaved their heads, took off their suits, changed their names, changed their jobs and changed their hobbies. In the face of heavy physical labor, they will be rejected and ask their families to find relationships and expect "special care"; Although he was in prison, he still had a good face and refused to seek medical treatment outside prison because he was ashamed to wear handcuffs in front of outsiders; After years in prison, I still can’t face my crimes and keep complaining; When he was in office, his mobile phone kept ringing, but few subordinates visited him after his fall. Some corrupt officials in prison felt that family affection was the most precious. The psychological gap caused by identity change will make some people feel a strong sense of loss. They often fall into helpless, lonely and painful anxiety, and even have suicidal thoughts … …
But within the power grid, they have no privilege.
Serious transformation: processing 4000 light bulbs every day, applying for paying for red wine by yourself was rejected.
In July, 2013, Luo Yinguo, the former secretary of Maoming, Guangdong Province, was sentenced to death with a two-year suspension for the crime of huge amount of unidentified property and the crime of accepting bribes.
In 2014, he appeared in the "Officials in the High Wall" broadcast by CCTV’s "News Investigation" column.
In the camera, he wears prison uniform and lives with 14 people in a 20-square-meter cell. It seems that when he was investigated in 2011, he shouted, "Why should I be singled out?" Really let me account, I can account for three days and three nights, turning Maoming officialdom upside down "that he is very different, as if he realized something and calmed down a lot."

Life in prison is very regular.
I get up at 6: 30 every morning, have breakfast, and go to work in the labor workshop, where I have to plug in lights, copper knives and pull one side.
Call it a day at 11: 30, lunch. Then take a lunch break for an hour, and then return to the workshop in the afternoon to continue the labor reform.
After dinner in the evening, you can concentrate on watching TV and go to bed before 10: 30.
After eight hours of labor reform every day, Luo Yinguo made more than 1,000 light bulbs from the beginning, and then he could make 4,000 a day. He said, "Because we haven’t done any physical labor in the past few decades, it was very hard at first, and my hands were torn several layers." "The skin has fallen off, it hurts, and sometimes it even hurts in winter. This feeling is particularly uncomfortable."
While serving his sentence, he also gave up smoking and spent most of his shopping money on books.
When it comes to the future, Luo Yinguo doesn’t have much expectation. He just wants to finish the task of labor reform on time and in quantity every day, and live steadily day by day.
Two years later, on July 22nd, 2016, when Luo Yinguo appeared in newspapers again, it was already the news that he had died of stomach cancer. In this way, the former party secretary finished his life.
In the prison, there are many officials who have fallen off the horse like Luo Yinguo.
Chen Liangyu, the former secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee, was detained in a single cell of nearly 20 square meters, with a separate toilet, sitting toilet and so on. He still wears a suit but not a tie most of the time. In the solitary yard time from 9: 00 to 10: 00 every day, Chen Liangyu usually starts to play Tai Ji Chuan at the door of the prison, then goes back to the yard, or takes a walk. He once proposed to use his personal funds to improve his meals and list the foods he needed, such as red wine and peach kernels, but he was rejected.
Shi Faliang, the former director of bureau of henan province, saw two sparrows chasing and playing through the narrow prison bars. He was afraid to go out of the atmosphere for fear that the birds would fly away. He just watched quietly and his face was full of envy.
Bad habits die hard: banquets for relatives and friends in the detention center, and collection of women’s paintings in the prison room.
Inside the high wall, some officials have seriously reformed, while others still have bad habits and try to seek privileges by illegal means.
Ma Jianguo, former deputy head of jinniu district, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for embezzlement of public funds and destruction of accounting vouchers.

According to media reports, in prison, Ma Jianguo doesn’t wear prison clothes or eat prisoners’ meals. He can go in and out of hotels and restaurants for banquets, go home for the night, go out to meet relatives and friends, store cash and cigarettes in the prison, and use mobile communication tools to handle company affairs in prison, just like going out for a holiday.
During his sentence, Ma Jianguo "reimbursed" the prison guards for the fuel for going out to use the car; Liu Bo, who was then the head of the West Sichuan Branch, paid a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan; Pay off the final payment of the house purchase for Wu Bangzhi, then the prison director of western Sichuan … …
After investigation, Ma paid bribes of RMB 298,058, two ebony Guanyin statues (valued at RMB 8,000) and 25 cigarettes (valued at RMB 9,500) to Wu Bangzhi, Liu Bo and others, with a total of RMB 315,558.
After trial, the court held that Ma Jianguo committed a new crime while serving his sentence and should be severely punished according to law, so he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Ma Jianguo is not the only one who enjoys "privilege" within the high wall.
Jia Yongxiang, former president of Shenyang Intermediate People’s Court, and Liang Fuquan, vice president of Shenyang Intermediate People’s Court, spent more than 1,000 yuan per day in the detention center. The two were transferred to a prison room to be watched alone, and they were free to move. They called relatives and friends to eat and drink in the detention center restaurant, and at most, four tables were set. Jia Yongxiang, who is "extremely erotic", also collects pictures of women in the prison room, and cuts out the pictures of beautiful women in swimsuits and photographs of naked women in magazines separately and puts them in the notebook … …
Their arrogant performance has attracted the attention of relevant departments. The responsible persons of Yingkou detention center have been dealt with, and the detention management of Jia Yongxiang, Liang Fuquan and other corrupt officials who have fallen off the horse has also been strengthened.
"Golden cicada takes off its shell": on the day of sentencing, it was released on parole for medical treatment for 10 years, but it did not take a day in prison.
After being put into prison, some officials who have fallen off the horse do not reflect on their crimes, but rack their brains to "escape from prison" in advance. Being released on medical parole is regarded as a common way to get out of prison early by some fallen officials, especially "rich diseases" such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease, which have become their means to escape punishment.
Lin Chongzhong, former deputy mayor of Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for accepting bribes.

At the same time as the court pronounced the sentence, Heyuan Intermediate People’s Court ruled that Lin Chongzhong was allowed to seek medical treatment outside the prison on the grounds that he was suffering from hypertension and other diseases, and he was "released in court".
After a year of "carefree", Lin was reported by the masses. After investigation by the Guangdong Provincial Procuratorate, it was found that he did not meet the conditions for medical parole at all, so he was "sent" back to prison.
After investigation, Lin Chongzhong’s family bribed Liu, the director of Heyuan City Detention Center, the instructor Tu, the medical chief of Heyuan People’s Hospital and a doctor. The doctor issued a false physical examination report, while the medical section chief directly deleted the report to make it more suitable for the conditions of medical treatment on parole. Then the detention center will issue an application for allowing medical treatment outside the prison and execution outside the prison to the Heyuan Intermediate People’s Court, and the court will pronounce the sentence accordingly.
In July 2010, Shimou, director of the Land and Resources Bureau of Shuoxian County, Yuanyang, was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Qixing District Court of Guilin for accepting bribes. He was temporarily executed outside prison because of rheumatic heart disease and bladder cancer.
However, four years later, some media broke out that Shimou had not been in prison for a day, but also appeared in Guangzhou, Nanning, Liuzhou and Hechi many times, and even flew to Chengdu, Sichuan.
In this regard, the Yangshuo County Public Security Bureau reported that Shimou only took time off when he went to Nanning and Guangzhou to seek medical treatment, but he did not take time off in other places where Shimou went, which violated the relevant regulations on temporary execution outside prison. The police conducted educational talks and admonitions, warned him and informed the Qixing District Court of Guilin.
The state established the system of "medical parole" to show respect for life and health and protect the right of seriously ill criminals to treat diseases. But in practice, it often becomes a "shield" and a "safe haven" for the powerful to escape legal punishment. How to prevent similar incidents from happening again may become a core issue that cannot be ignored in the process of catching flies and killing tigers. (Text/Ren Jia)
