Can reward in cash be applied to inmates in Vietnam? Please advise soon.
In Clause 1, Article 41 of the Law on Criminal Judgment Execution 2019, it is stipulated:
1. While serving his/her prison sentence, an inmate who properly observes prison rules and regulations, makes achievements in work or records merits shall be commended and rewarded in one or more of the following forms:
a) Praise;
b) Reward in cash or in kind;
c) Increase of the number of phone conversations and visits with relatives, the number of receipt and quantities of presents.
2. Superintendents of prisons or detention camps of the Ministry of Public Security, superintendents of detention camps of the Ministry of National Defense, heads of criminal judgment execution agencies of provincial-level police departments and heads of criminal judgment execution agencies of military zones shall decide commendation given to inmates. Commendation shall be expressed in writing and recorded in inmates' files. Commended inmates will be given priority in the process of requesting reduction of the duration of serving prison sentences under law.
Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, during the time of serving the prison sentence, the inmate can receive a reward in the form of cash.
Best Regards!
