Laogai definition
Laogai means reform through labor. In my opinion, “laogai” is consistent with criminal law and the spirit of the Chinese Constitution as a way of transformation of the mind of the felon. After the offender is sentenced to long-term imprisonment, life imprisonment, or death sentence with a reprieve by the court, the criminals are forced to labor, to transform their thinking. In China, since ancient times, it is normally considered a legitimate and reasonable method to force prisoners to do labor. The slogan for “Laogai” is “Reform first, production second.”
