Observation And Thinking Over The Utility Of Prison Law

Since its promulgation on December 29, 1994, Prison Law hasn't been practically and satisfactorily availed, and its implementation and application are restricted to only limited scope, whereby the author thinks the major causes of such phenomenon are: the Prison Law has considerable problems itself, for example, rough clauses, a number of blind sectors, poor applicability, and the overall criminal law system of poor coordination, e.g., there are different definitions to identical legal problems, even there are contradictions between the Prison Law, Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Code. Specifically, there are two ways to solve this problem: on one hand, to make scientific and reasonable amendments to Prison Law to clarify the object of legal regulation and refine the clauses so as to improve the legal status of this law and make its applicability meet the needs of implementation and application; one the other, which is more of the author's inclination, to establish a unified criminal enforcement code to improve and rationalize the whole criminal law system and prevent unnecessary crossing between the object of legal regulation and applicable scope so as to sequentially boost the scientific development of the criminal law of China.
