The "Stone Wall Flower", an organization concerned with prison rights established by former Legislative Council Member Shao Jiazhen, recently launched a joint "Operation One Hundred Thousand Fire" to call on the public to pay attention to the hot environment in prisons and urge the Correctional Services Department to improve it. A total of more than 125,000 people were collected Signature of the citizen.
Shao Jiazhen said on Facebook that the Correctional Services Department replied that it would constantly replace the fans and install strong wind horn fans, and plans to install suicide-proof roller fans in the Stanley Prison cells.
Shao Jiazhen believed that the department’s response was “implicit”, so he sent a letter to former legislator Zhang Chaoxiong to ask the department to provide more details and respond to other suggestions from the public, including allowing family members to provide persons in custody with antipyretic stickers, portable electric fans, etc. .
The Correctional Services Department replied to Shao Jiazhen that a number of measures have been taken to improve the detention environment in the prison, including the constant replacement of fans, the installation of horn fans with strong wind, and the step-by-step installation of new gates and windows with better ventilation.
The Correctional Services Department has also installed roller fans designed to prevent suicide in the cells of Stanley Prison, which is considered the hottest and most influential.
Shao Jiazhen pointed out that the Correctional Services Department’s willingness to carry out the above improvement works is worthy of recognition, but he believed that the reply was very "implicit", so he wrote to the Commissioner of Correctional Services Hu Yingming again, requesting an account of which institutions have undergone additional or improvement projects; How many horn fans and drum fans have been installed in the hospitals in Hong Kong; and how much the specific temperature of the hospitals has been reduced after the improvement works.
Urge the Correctional Services Department to allow family members to provide antipyretic stickers, portable electric fans, sunglasses, etc.
Shao Jiazhen also urged the Correctional Services Department to follow up on feasible suggestions made by the public, including allowing family members to provide inmates with antipyretic stickers, portable electric fans, solar oil, sunglasses, etc.; to change the current habit of boiling hot water for all drinking water , Change to provide frozen water for drinking, and allow to increase the number of showers, etc.; paint insulation coating on the top and outer walls of the courtyard; increase stadium parasols and provide prison clothing in different seasons, etc.
Shao Jiazhen pointed out that the Correctional Services Department’s willingness to increase fans and ventilation systems is certainly a good-for-nothing decision, but after all, the project takes time, and the above suggestions made by the public are to change the implementation details and see results. I urge the Correctional Services Department to use its power flexibly to allow Persons in custody can serve their sentences in a humane environment.
