How to Resolve Cases of Children Above 36 Months Old of Female Inmates with No Relatives to Care for Them?

Pursuant to Clause 5, Article 51 of the Law on Execution of Criminal Judgments 2019, it is stipulated:

Female prisoners with children aged 36 months or older must send their children to relatives for upbringing. In cases where the prisoner’s children do not have relatives to receive and raise them, the detention camps, temporary detention camps under the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of National Defense, the provincial criminal judgment execution agencies, and the military zone criminal judgment execution agencies **** must request the specialized agency on labor, war invalids, and social affairs under the Provincial People's Committee where the prisoner serves the sentence to designate a social protection facility to accept and nurture the children. Within 15 days from the date of receiving the request, the specialized agency on labor, war invalids, and social affairs under the Provincial People's Committee must designate a social protection facility responsible for accepting and nurturing the children.

Thus, in cases where the female prisoner's children aged 36 months or older do not have relatives to receive and raise them, they will be handled according to the above regulations. At that time, the children will be accepted and nurtured by the social protection facility. Persons who have completed their prison sentences are entitled to receive their children back from the social protection facility.
