Chapter 366: Prison Walk
The next day was Saturday, and early in the morning, the skinheads roamed back and forth on their motorcycles on their own on the middle road of the villa where Lu Ni and Li Qi lived. Li Qi and the peripheral security company really can't do anything about them in this behavior. It's legal to ride a bike, it's legal to wander around. Zhao Yun somewhat understood what Li Qi said that the gangsters liked the most [***] law. If he could do without [***] law, he'd go out and drag people to their rooms right now and beat them up until they don't even know his mother. I didn't go to bed until late at night yesterday, and the roar of the motorcycle was very annoying.
The perimeter security company was also quite tough, and two or three people of color got out of the car, without the slightest scruple to point fingers at a few skinheads wandering alone. This is a provocation, as long as the skinheads attack them, they can make a fuss. According to the temper of the skinheads, the most unbearable thing is the provocation of people of color, but today, miraculously, they held back. They just returned their middle finger and didn't get out of the car.
Around nine o'clock, several motorcycles finally dispersed. Around ten o'clock, a motorcycle arrived and threw a letter on the side of the road. The staff of the perimeter security company handed the letter to Li Qi and them. The content of the letter was simple, inviting Li Qi, Xun Xuan, Mi Wu, Zhao Yun, Asano Lin and the heads of the peripheral security companies to Chinatown for lunch.
Xun Xuanxin was happy: "It's not easy, it took one night to get our name." ”
Zhao Yun wondered, "How did they get our name?" ”
Everyone despised Zhao Yun together, and Sister Lin replied kindly: "We arrived on the same flight, and there is only one flight a day." We entered the country with our real names, and as long as we compare our photos with the flight, you can know our names. ”
"Haha." Zhao Yun laughed dryly.
Li Qi said: "Dog Xuan, have you arranged it over there?" ”
"How fast?" Xun Xuan gritted his teeth: "That little is very arrogant, he said that he would not help me unless I apologized to him for what happened two years ago." ”
Li Qi asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Xun Xuan said: "It was a word on the phone. ”
"What word?"
"Coward."
Li Qi was speechless: "You are so powerful, are there any acquaintances in this world who have not been offended by you?" ”
Xun Xuan thought for a while and replied: "No, but at least it shows that I am very fair." ”
A guy from the perimeter security company came in and asked, "We want to know what you mean." ”
"Not participating." Li Qidao: "Send someone and tell her that at half past seven in the evening, we will have a banquet at this address." Li Qi handed over a card.
The perimeter took the card and glanced at it, it was a wheat farm a hundred kilometers away from the city of Toronto. The periphery nodded. They are pure strength, legal support. What to do is decided by Li Qi, they have the final say.
Li picked up his watch, picked up his coat and said, "You guys are good to Luni first, I'll go see the Blue River." ”
"Go ahead!" Xun Xuan said: "There are not many of you in this security, not a lot of you." ”
"I don't have much." Zhao Yun took his coat and said, "I'll go too." ”
This place is quite safe. Perimeter security companies are stationed at the point, and their firepower is quite good. If they can't stop it, two more people who can punch and kick won't help much.
…… China detention centers generally refer to people who have been prosecuted but not convicted, or who have been sentenced to less than one year in prison. Canada and the United States do not have detention centers, which are collectively referred to as prisons. Prisons are divided into light prisons and heavy prisons. Blue River temporarily lives in a light prison and is about an hour's drive away. Zhao Yun saw rows and rows, white walls and gray and blue roofs, which were very chic small villas. "This is also a gathering area for white-collar workers, right?" ”
"Prison." Li Qi replied.
"This is the prison?" Zhao Yun's jaw dropped. If this is a prison, what is the name of the commercial house in the sea?
Li Qi introduced: "Canadian light prisons are open. Super low-density villa composition. Three prisoners in one villa. There are turf connections between the villas. The distance between the villas and the villas is at least ten meters. Inside there is a bathroom, kitchen, TV and telephone. Broadband may be installed now. ”
Zhao Yun burst into tears: "When will I be able to live in such a prison." ”
Changing lanes, going through a security check at the intersection and then letting them go, the lawyer was already waiting, and a supervising prison guard followed them, and the lawyer explained that outsiders must be present to talk to prisoners and must speak a language that the prison guard understands. Zhao Yun prisoners, some are basking in the sun on lawn loungers, some are building grass and trees, some are in magazines, and some are dribbling. Every 100 meters or so, you can see a prison guard. Li Qirang accompanied the prison guards to introduce him, and then translated it to Zhao Yun.
Here, the prison guards and prisoners eat the same food, but the dining area is different. The food served today is bacon, borscht, burgers, salmon, fruits, drinks. The most important thing is the buffet. Eat as much as you want. Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "I used to wonder why they didn't run, but now I understand, why did they run?" When my brother was a reporter, he worked twelve hours a day, and he couldn't eat such a meal. After working for thirty years, I can't afford to live in such a villa. ”
"There's another reason why I don't run." Li Qi said: "If you run away here, you will be sent to a heavy prison." In comparison, the conditions are much harsher. However, this prison is considered the best among the low-level security prisons in Canada, and there are also hotel-style and university-style prisons that are poorer. But it's pretty much the same. ”
"That's a piece of." Zhao Yun was dissatisfied: "Let's go and commit crimes together." ”
"Minor criminals will be held here, and there is one more
point, generally those who enter the palace for the second time will be transferred to a heavy prison. This side is mainly a palace entry. There is a correction bureau inside. Counseling for a variety of crimes. And there is a fingerprint check-in system, which must be attended. There are classes from Monday to Friday, with different categories. For example, there are people who commit crimes with surnames, there are crimes committed by companies, there are crimes committed by serving criminal groups, and so on. Blue River is a non-bailable criminal, and in principle he is going to a serious prison, but because there is no trial, he lives here temporarily. ”
Drive to the depths and although there are no walls, the villa is still a villa. But the number of prison guards inside began to increase, and the prison guards were no longer as casual as they were in front of them, and they all wore guns, and there were guards in groups of three who were fully armed and equipped with submachine guns. Li Qi and others were subjected to a body search here, and cars could not drive in, so they could only walk. The lawyer, a Chinese lawyer, said: "There are not many residents here, but most of them are dangerous people like Blue River who cannot be released on bail and have not yet been convicted. The ratio of prisoners to prison guards in this area should be maintained at least 1 to 1. ”
Sure enough, as soon as I came in, I found unfriendly eyes. An Eastern European stared coldly at the group of visitors. Li Qi walked among them, and he followed the edge of the villa. Immediately, a prison guard shouted, "Go back, now." ”
One of his feet had collapsed out of his free range. The Eastern Europeans gathered their feet and smiled coldly, making a gesture to wipe their necks. Zhao Yun wanted to respond with his middle finger, but Li Qi held his hand and said, "He is deliberately provocative." Once you make an obvious insult to him. His lawyer's association appealed to the court, saying he had been treated with extreme disrespect. Because none of them have yet been convicted, the court will ask the prison to give him a satisfactory place to live. ”
Zhao Yun was dissatisfied: "He provoked first." ”
"He's touching the neck, and you're the international lingua franca." To the left of Li Qi, there is another black man playing basketball and is quite hostile to his own group. Canada and the United States have the highest number of blacks in prisons, and they are several times more numerous than the second. The second-place ranking is more controversial. According to the 200 American Crime Survey, one out of every thirty-seven Americans has been to prison, and one out of every three black people has been to prison. Listening to the bad law and order in Haihei District, it can be said to be the best in the country.
Zhao Yun's anger did not subside, his eyes rolled, his left hand covered, and his right hand gestured with his middle finger. The black man was furious on the spot, and rushed to Zhao Yun as soon as he threw the basketball. There were still five meters to go, and a fierce prison guard knocked him down from the side. Two nearby prison guards stepped forward and handcuffed the black man. Li Qi smiled bitterly: "How old a person is, still playing." Besides, it's the white people who mess with you, and it's not the black people who mess with you. ”
"I think the hostility is the same." Zhao Yun smiled and said: "If I were a judge, this kind of person would not have to waste money to judge, and would sign directly: guilty." ”
"Big brother, can you have some basic international knowledge." Li Qidao: "Guilty or innocent, what the judge says doesn't count, what the jury says." ”
"yes, I've always wanted to ask, how do you get into the jury?"
"You can apply and then you will be reviewed. The lottery will be conducted after the review is passed. If you get it, you're going to go. However, according to the law, during the jury trial, the salary of the employer where you work is paid. In major cases, the jury is closed in a specific place. You can start by stating your requirements. Whether it is possible to jury in a different place, which months are inconvenient, and how long can the jury time be tolerated. ”
Zhao Yundao: "I have a question, is it too child's play for a group of people who are mixed together to make judgments of guilt and innocence?" ”
"There was a case of a teacher in the United States who raped an elementary school student and then absconded from the country. The United States used the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and even threatened to use force, and the person was extradited to China. As soon as he left the airport, the victim's father was in the crowd and suddenly shot him several times and killed him. According to the legal understanding, the father was an intentional homicide. Conclusive. How did you? ”
"Your sister, if you dare to touch my daughter, I will kill his whole family." Zhao Yun immediately replied.
"Damn, I really don't have a common language with you." Li Qidao: "The jury unanimously found my father not guilty. Let's put it this way, a jury has not only a legal component, but also a moral component. When the high point of morality reaches a certain height, the law prevails. The people you are talking about are all ordinary citizens. The grand jury is made up of 2 ordinary citizens. ”
The lawyer added: "Another point is that the jury has supervision, and they don't know the law and have to dig through a lot of legal literature. There is no acquittal or guilt because of ignorance of the law. Moreover, there are rules for jurors, such as age, residence, communication ability, and criminal record. There are also lawyers, doctors, firefighters, teachers, dentists, political axe personnel, etc., who cannot be jurors. However, some states in the United States have a mandatory jury trial, and they draw lots according to the voter registration list and driver's license list, and if you are selected and refuse without a valid reason, you will be punished according to the circumstances. ”
Zhao Yun asked: "What if I go to a jury and the boss wants to fire me?" ”
The lawyer laughed and said, "That's absolutely impossible." After you go to a jury, you can be fired and sued against your boss for jury delay, even if you are not fired by your boss for jury delay. Mr. Zhao should go out and walk more, and the national conditions are different in different places. ”
Zhao Yun's face immediately burned a little, ashamed! In these years, whether you are a thief or a bodyguard, it is important to understand the law.
According to the lawyer, "In the United States, for example, ordinary people do not directly participate in the legislative and executive power. Citizens' participation in jury trials is equivalent to handing over rights to citizens, sharing judicial power, and checking and balancing powers, so that justice will not be manipulated by political axes. Of course, there are some drawbacks to jury trials. There have also been cases where juries have disregarded factual evidence on emotional and racial grounds. But there is nothing perfect in this world, and don't compare who is good and who is bad. ”
