849: Prisoner Handover
Jiang Shang sat in the passenger seat of the jeep, wearing sunglasses. Sweat kept oozing from his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it off, his eyes always looking out the window.
The reason why this escort mission is important is that there are several serious criminals on this trip. They are the people who caused bloody storms in previous years and now they have all been liquidated.
In order to prevent any trouble, the higher-ups specially arranged for someone to come and escort them.
Jiang Shang took this opportunity to volunteer and join the team.
After walking for about ten days, the team finally arrived at their destination, a labor camp in the northwest, code-named Farm 325. It was a farm that could not be found on any map.
The labor camps at that time were not as high-walled and strictly guarded as many people imagined. The labor camps mainly grew cotton and occupied a large area. It was unrealistic to enclose the entire land.
Moreover, the prisoners had to wear iron chains on their hands when they went to work every day, and were guarded by special people with guns. Anyone who tried to escape could be shot.
Not only that, there is no one living within dozens of miles of the labor camp, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the environmental conditions are extremely harsh. Even if you can escape from here, it is difficult to run out of this place on foot.
Therefore, the possibility of escaping from here is almost zero.
Therefore, except for the prison at the labor camp where prisoners were held, all other large cotton fields were open to the public.
Prisoners go to work every morning, return to prison at night, sleep, and continue the next day, repeating this cycle until the day they are released from prison.
In the past two years, there have been great changes in the prisoners in the labor camp. Many people who were sentenced in the past have suddenly been rehabilitated and released.
There were also some who were powerful in the past few years, but were suddenly liquidated and became prisoners.
In short, in the past two years, the flow of people coming in and out of labor camps has been unprecedentedly large.
This was Jiang Shang's first time at this labor camp. When he arrived at the farm gate, armed guards came out and asked:
"Where did it come from?"
Jiang Shang took out the documents he had prepared in advance and handed them to the guard:
"From the capital, escorting a prisoner."
The guard looked at the document, saluted, went back to open the big iron gate, and let the two cars in.
The warden saw a car coming in the building director's office and brought people down to greet the new prisoners.
The warden saw Jiang Shang's uniform and guessed that he was the highest-ranking official. He went straight to Jiang Shang and said:
"Hello, I'm the warden. Are you from the capital?"
"yes."
Jiang Shang didn't bother with any politeness to the insignificant person. He took off his sunglasses and showed his work ID to the warden. The ID had his name and photo on it, as well as a letter of certification proving that he was the main person in charge of the escort mission.
It's all routine.
After reviewing the work certificate, Jiang Shang took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to the warden, saying:
"There are a total of thirty-nine prisoners this time. Their information and sentences are listed above. Some are serious criminals, with the longest sentence being fifty years, and they are not allowed to be released early."
The warden took a look at the top few pieces of information and found that they were indeed extraordinary. Several of the prisoners were really well-known. They were once famous celebrities, but now they have been sentenced.
The warden had only read a few pages when the prisoners in the truck next to him got off the truck under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen rifles.
These prisoners had endured a long and torturous journey, and all of them looked haggard and unshaven. Some were so weak that they could hardly stand and collapsed directly after landing.
But the guard next to him did not show any leniency or preferential treatment, and shouted with his gun raised:
"Stand up!"
The person who fell to the ground had to struggle to get up, but his body was shaking and he could fall at any time.
The warden handed the documents in his hand to another of his men, who took a list and began to call out the names one by one.
Click on one and stand on the other side.
There were thirty-nine people in total, not one missing, including Li Xinchun.
The warden didn't notice Li Xinchun in the line at first. Only when he heard his name called did he look over and see him shackled and dragging his feet toward the roll call. The warden narrowed his eyes and recognized him:
"Wasn't Li Xinchun released just a few months ago? How did he get back in jail?"
Jiang Shang hadn't noticed Li Xinchun. Throughout the journey, Jiang Shang hadn't noticed anything special about this insignificant Li Xinchun, so he never even glanced at him. He only had a vague memory of his name when he was looking at the information. Hearing the warden's words, he glanced at Li Xinchun and casually asked, "What's going on?"
"Was he also in labor camp here before?"
"Yes, I was detained here for over five years and was released not long ago. I was a bit of a thorn in there and was very difficult to control. I didn't expect that I would be sent back to you again."
The warden sounded troubled.
But this is none of Jiang Shang's business. Jiang Shang has sent the person here anyway. As for how to discipline this troublemaker, that is the labor camp's business and has nothing to do with him, Jiang Shang.
After counting the prisoners, the warden had them led in and made arrangements.
After handing over the prisoner, Jiang Shang's mission was completed.
The warden changed his tone and said politely to Jiang Shang:
"Comrade Jiang, I'll have someone come over to arrange your food and lodging."
"Okay, thank you very much. By the way, a prisoner in the Women's Labor Team of the 325 Labor Camp has had her conviction overturned, and the court has ordered her immediate release."
As he spoke, Jiang Shangyou took out a few documents from his briefcase and handed them to the warden.
The warden took the document and took a few glances at it, confirming that it was another case of overturning a conviction and being released. The warden was no longer surprised by this:
"Okay, we'll arrange for your release."
At this point, the warden thought Jiang Shang had said everything he needed to say. As for when and how he would be released, that was the labor camp's business and had nothing to do with Jiang Shang.
But Jiang Shang's mouth corners suddenly turned up strangely, and his tone softened, with a hint of intimacy:
"Coincidentally, this prisoner is an acquaintance of mine. Before I came here, her parents asked me to take her back. I have been asked to ask the warden to release her immediately and arrange for her to stay outside the cell tonight. I will take her back tomorrow."
“——” The warden’s eyes flashed, and he couldn’t help but become suspicious.
He did not hide his suspicion and carefully read the release document issued by the court in front of Jiang Shang, turning it over and over again, as if to confirm whether the document was forged.
Jiang Shang was not in a hurry. After all, the documents were genuine, so he was not afraid of being questioned. After the warden finished reading the documents and found no problems, Jiang Shang said:
"I can sign it for you as a certificate. Also, if you're still worried, you can send a telegram to the Beijing Court, and they'll give you a reply."
