Dozens of inmates in northwestern China will be temporarily released from jail to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year at home with their families as a reward for good behavior.
In the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, 66 inmates who have behaved well and have less than two years left of their prison terms will be granted five days leave to reunite with family members during Spring Festival, according to the region's bureau of prisons.
Spring Festival, which begins on Jan 23 this year, is China's most important holiday, with hundreds of millions of people returning to hometowns to reunite with family members.
The inmates will be released on Jan 22, the eve of the Lunar New Year.
This will not be the first time that Ningxia has let prisoners go home for festivals. Since 2009, a total of 551 inmates have been allowed to leave for holidays, some for Spring Festival, others for the National Day holiday in October. All of them returned to prison when their vacation ended.
"It turned out that our worries were unnecessary," said Zhou Gang, an official with the bureau, who said that they had feared the convicts might take the chance to escape.
"None of them ran away, and they were not even late coming back," Zhou said.
Besides humanitarian considerations, the policy also worked as a motivation for prisoners to behave well.
Kinship is powerful as it can help them change and later make a fresh start, Zhou said.
According to Zhou, another 400 prisoners, who also behaved well but have more than two years of their prison term remaining, were allowed to have their family members with them in prison to celebrate the festival.
