Shanghai Detention Center (SDC) (Chinese: 上海市看守所; Pinyin: ''shànghǎishì kānshǒusuǒ'') is located in Pudong, Shanghai, about 20 miles outside of downtown Shanghai. The facility houses serious domestic criminals and all foreigners suspected of infractions. ==Overview== The facility’s primary housing unit is a 3-story building. The building is segregated into East- and West-wing on each floor. Each floor is supervised by a cadre of around 6 guards around the clock aided by a “counselor” from 9 – 5. Each floor is divided into roughly 14 units of cell. Each cell is about 6 meters by 2.5 meters; Latrine and toilet are on one side of the wall while open bars sit on the other end of the wall. In the middle of the room is a massive cubby board that has a dual top. The top portion is opened and folded back flat to form an 8-men sleeping space. Nominal capacity of 10 people means 2 other people will sleep on the walk way uncovered by the top board. All detainees are kept in this close quarter 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Occasionally, they are released to the “exercise court” that measures about 4 x 4 (meters) with no view of outside. Hot water showers are provided once in week during winter time, but detainees typically take daily showers inside the cell. Males and females occupy different floor. Morning bell rings at 6:00 a.m. Breakfast is served around 7:30 a.m. Chinese pop song morning drive program is on from 6:30 to around 8:00 a.m. during weekdays. Lunch and Dinner are served at 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., respectively. Meal carts are rotated around each cell and each cell is allocated adequate eating utensils. SDC houses two kinds of people: Chinese nationals who are suspected of or being prosecuted for major infraction and foreigners regardless of nature of infraction. The typical legal process starts when local police makes determination if a person is to be sent to SDC. Once a person arrives at SDC, police has 7 days to determine if the person will be officially arrested; such determination may take up to 7 – 9 days. Empicially very few are ever released from SDC once arrived; typically, a person is move to "investigation" stage and the law provides another 30-day detention period until police has completed such investigation. This phase can theoretically be extended twice for a total of another 60 days. Only when a case is moved to prosecution can the suspect speak to his/her attorney. Attorney meeting need to be approved and accompanied by prosecutors; individuals can speak to attorneys privately but such private meeting is monitored. The prosecution phase is another 30-day window that can be further extended. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shanghai Detention Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
