Qincheng Prison, High-security prison in Changping District, Beijing, China.

The prison contains three distinct sections: jail houses for prisoners of different ranks, management areas, and residential quarters for staff members.

Soviet assistance led to the construction of this facility in 1958, initially designed to contain Kuomintang political prisoners under project number 156.

Inmates receive different treatment levels based on their social status, with higher-ranking prisoners getting improved meals and more frequent shower access.

The prison operates under the direct control of China's Ministry of Public Security, implementing a number system to identify prisoners based on their entry year.

Medical decisions for inmates often require approval from political authorities rather than depending solely on healthcare professionals' recommendations.
