The granting of amnesty to prisoners demonstrates the Party and State’s policy of humanity and clemency for those who have shown repentance and undergone a comprehensive re-education. However, to prevent amnesty recipients from committing crimes again, social organizations, local authorities and every family need to have responsibility for create favorable conditions for them to early re-integrate back into the community, trying their best to become useful residents.
