  At present, the Shijiazhuang Women's Prison has detained about 200 practitioners who are dispersed into each small squad. In the prison, incidents happen fast and cruelly. One's life hangs by a thread; a bit of carelessness is followed by abuse, and there is a tremendous pressure. The practitioners are also required to perform physically demanding work. The prison guards instigate convicts to monitor the practitioners' daily activities including during their conversations, meals, working hours and other activities. Thus, practitioners have to endure many inhuman treatments. They are forced to work long hours until 11p.m. to midnight before they can go to bed. There is a certain amount of work that each must complete; otherwise they are punished. Punishment follows if the work quality is not as good, if one is found talking while working or greeting each other.
