1. Issues concerning investigation and classification for inmate admittance:

(1)Direct investigation: Such investigation is conducted in a face-to-face manner upon admittance of new inmates by undertaking personnel of concerned sections or offices at New Inmates Admittance Center. Inmates will be questioned about their related information for filing, including basic information, physical condition, occupational condition, crime motive, psychological features, and records of after-care observation.

(2)Indirect investigation: Investigation is conducted using a mail inquiry form, with the police department under jurisdiction having the responsibility to interview with the family members and fill in required information. After being compiled, the information will serve as reference for future measures.

Issues concerning Inmate Admittance Seminar: In order to assist inmates in quickly and smoothly adapting to the life in the correction institution along with being familiar to their rights, obligations and regulations, an admittance seminar is conducted. Every new inmate will be issued with a “Life Handbook” to help the inmate to serve their sentence without worrying.
