Since ancient times, is it a Chinese tradition for prisoners to shave their heads? Do foreign prison

No, ancient Chinese prisoners did not shave their heads. Foreign prisoners are also required to shave their heads when they are in prison.

The shaving of the head is to keep the prisoner clean and tidy and not to get sick.

The ancients did not shave their hair, and their hair and skin were given by their parents, and they had no right to discard it, which violated filial piety (so shaving was boycotted in the Qing Dynasty).

Therefore, the ancients tattooed words on their faces, called black noodles, and the prisoners who were assigned were tattooed with words, so that they were not afraid of escaping, and they were easy to catch.

Foreign antiquity is unknown, it seems that the ancient common people did not go to prison, only the nobles were in prison (there was no money to live in vain), and the common people were punished (whipping, chopping hands.

Now shaving one's head in prison is learned from modern prisons in foreign countries.

In ancient times, shaving hair was called a mustache! It is more uncomfortable for the prisoner than for his life, and he knew that Huang Zongxi had the words of the Chinese to shave his hair at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty! The so-called body hair and skin, the parents who receive it, dare not destroy it, the beginning of filial piety (the beginning of filial piety) Chinese prisoners have no tradition of shaving their hair, just leave you an impression and a longer memory!

There is no tradition of shaving hair in foreign countries.

I don't seem to have heard of this as a Chinese tradition, and there seem to be all kinds of similar ones in foreign countries, and I have also seen some prisoners in Tsarist Russia shave off exactly half of their hair in some film and television materials. I think this kind of behavior is just a way to distinguish and humiliate the prisoners, and there is no traditional or research value to speak of.

The 3rd floor is good, hair removal is a kind of punishment, a kind of heavy punishment! Those who have been sent out have no social status, you can go and see the chapter in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where Liu Bei attacked Shu and was almost drowned, and foreign countries have no such meaning.

1. This is due to a kind of punishment in ancient China, which in ancient times was an insult to the personality of the prisoner. Since the Qin Dynasty in ancient China, shaving the head was a form of punishment, called shaved punishment, which refers to shaving the hair, beard and sideburns of a prisoner, which is a humiliating punishment intended to degrade the prisoner in terms of personality and strike a blow to the prisoner mentally. This is often used as an add-on to a prison sentence.

2. In fact, shaving the heads of prisoners has been an unwritten management rule in domestic prisons for a long time. This is because it is not only easier for prison administration (e.g. hygiene, prevention of hiding items in the hair), but also easy to distinguish. Once a prisoner escapes, it is easy to identify and spot the target when captured, even if the offender wears a wig disguise.

I think it was because of this in mind that we took necessary measures in the first place. Wearing a bald head, like serving a sentence, is a form of punishment for prisoners, warning them not to engage in criminal activities in the future. The "humanistic care" for prisoners is not reflected in whether they are bald or not, but in their rehabilitation, purifying their minds, and helping them to reintegrate into society and start a new life.

At present, with the progress of judicial civilization, this traditional practice is gradually changing. Haikou, Shanghai and other places have abolished this mandatory requirement, and prisoners can stay on board, which also reflects the humane trend of prison management.

3. From now on, male inmates in all prisons in Shanghai can choose their own hairstyles of flat heads, inch hair, and bald heads. The Municipal Prison Administration Bureau recently officially issued the "Notice on the Scope of Prisoners' Independent Choice of Hairstyles", and began to implement it in all prisons and prison general hospitals.

At the beginning of March 2004, the Municipal Prison Administration Bureau began to gradually implement the "Ten Measures for Civilized Law Enforcement" in all prisons in Shanghai, in an effort to give inmates more freedom in the areas of personality rights, health rights, communication rights, personal legal property rights, and study rights on the basis of not contradicting China's Criminal Law. Among the 10 measures is that "prisoners can choose their own hairstyles within the prescribed range". At the same time, the Municipal Prison Administration also held hearings on the "Ten Measures", which were gradually implemented in various pilot units.

My old classmate works in the criminal police team and often goes to pick up people (after the arrest and preliminary trial, they will be sent to the detention center, and the criminal detention will be sent directly to the detention center).

1.Personal hygiene.

The 10 prisoners were locked up in a large warehouse, the dirtiest and most tiring work of wiping the floor and the urine bucket was returned to the newcomers, and at night they took turns to work in pairs, unable to sleep, unable to talk, unable to move, and did not have the conditions to wash their hair frequently.

2.Prevent jailbreaking.

Prison police (inside the prison) and armed police (outside the prison) are forbidden to shave their heads, and those who become bald due to physical reasons will be transferred, while the prisoners are bald, and the characteristics are too obvious, and the opportunity to steal or snatch police uniforms and escape from prison is completely gone.

3.Prevent suicide.

There have been people who have cut their wrists with blades hidden in their hair and hurt people.

Not only prisons, but also those who were killed by Shuanggui also committed suicide by hiding a blade in their hair, and there were also those who committed suicide with chopsticks (poking them through their nostrils) while taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver food.

4.Other ulterior factors.

Not every place in the prison area is monitored, there may be fights between prisoners, and both sides of the fight will hide from the prison guards, and shaving the head can find the wound on the prisoner's head in time, and the treatment should be dealt with, and the punishment should be punished.

Whether there is any other reason, I don't know.

We always see that most of the prisoners have shaved heads, and it seems that it has become an unwritten rule for prisoners to shave their heads when they go to prison.

It may mean changing your mind and starting from scratch.

Start from scratch.

1.The ancients attached great importance to the protection of hair, which was a manifestation of filial piety to parents, and if removing hair was a criminal law that was insulting, the person would be morally condemned.

2.Nowadays, the shaving of prisoners' hair is for the convenience of management, because the hair is long, it is troublesome to wash the hair, and the long hair is easy to hide things in the long hair, which is not conducive to the safety of the prison.

Article 21 of the Code of Conduct for the Rehabilitation of Convicts promulgated by the Ministry of Justice in 1990 stipulates that except for convicts who are released from prison within one month, they are all allowed to have inch hair or bald heads, and are not allowed to have beards and long nails; Except for ethnic minority offenders with special living habits, female offenders are all allowed to wear short hair that reaches their ears, must not go over their necks, and are not allowed to perm, dye their hair, wear wigs, paint their nails, wear lipstick, wear jewelry, etc.

Article 10 of the Code of Conduct for Prison Inmates issued by the Ministry of Justice on 1 May 2004 stipulates that personal hygiene should be maintained, and regular bathing, haircuts, shaving, nail clipping, and regular changes of clothes and bedding should be maintained.

In this way, there is no legal basis for mandatory head shaving.

What you said is called a criminal punishment, although there is no explicit provision that this is a criminal law, but in fact, it is equivalent to a warning or the like, and others will feel uncomfortable when they see that this guy has committed a crime.

Prevent ** disease and prevent prisoners from eating hair and getting sick and be released on medical parole.

The law in the cover of the finch sells early analysis:

Anyone who enters the detention center must shave their heads.

Legal basis: Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Detention Centers" Article 30: Detention centers shall have facilities and equipment for inmates to bathe. Detention centers shall, on the basis of seasonal changes and the needs of the actual period, stipulate the number and time of bathing, haircuts, and washing and drying of bedding and clothing.

Always keep the inside and outside of the prison clean and hygienic, and pay attention to beautifying the environment. The cells should be cleaned every day, disinfected regularly, and the prisoners should be cooled down in the summer and kept warm in the winter. It is convenient to manage and standardize, and the relevant personnel of the detention center will help the prisoner shave his head.

Legal Analysis: When criminals commit crimes and go to prison, they will of course lose some of their rights, including a certain degree of freedom, and accept the punishment of the law, so as to wash away the crime and warn the world. But criminals have not completely lost all their rights.

For the convenience of management, and in order to help prisoners adapt to prison life as soon as possible and accept labor reform, prisoners will be shaved after entering prison.

The law is based on the Prison Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 4: Prisons shall supervise convicts in accordance with law, organize convicts to engage in productive labor and conduct ideological, cultural, and technical education on the basis of the needs of reforming convicts.

Article 5: People's police in prisons lawfully manage prisons, enforce criminal punishments, and carry out activities such as educating and reforming convicts, and enjoy the protection of law.

Article 6: People's procuratorates are to carry out oversight of whether prison enforcement activities are in accordance with the law.

Convicts must strictly abide by laws, regulations, and prison rules and disciplines, obey management, receive education, and participate in labor.
