Will you go to jail when you cut your hair in ancient times?

1. The documents of the Ministry of Justice only stipulate that haircuts should be made on time, but all provinces and cities have formulated corresponding rules when implementing them, stipulating that male prisoners should have haircuts every two months. The current understanding is only convenient management, hygiene and cleanliness.

2. The reason why people in prisons shave their heads is also related to the inheritance culture of prisons. In ancient China, from the Qin Dynasty, shaving one's head was a punishment, which was called shaving one's hair, beard and sideburns. This is a humiliating punishment, which is intended to degrade the prisoner in personality and attack the prisoner in spirit.

Article 10 of the Code of Conduct for Prison Criminals shall maintain personal hygiene, take a bath, have a haircut, shave and cut nails on time, and change clothes and bedding regularly.
