When the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, what happened to the 65,438+10,000 prisoners in prison?

After the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, there were100000 prisoners in the prison, and the nature of these prisoners was different. A small number of these prisoners were detained because of the revolution, and some were detained for knowing the law and breaking the law. Did a lot of unforgivable things. Therefore, a small number of revolutionaries can be released and even become active ministers. However, another part of people who have committed serious crimes will continue to be detained and even executed.

You know, when the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, it was the Xinhai Revolution. To remain in power after the Revolution of 1911 is equivalent to the old aristocratic forces headed by Yuan Shikai, that is to say, the people who mastered the Qing Dynasty have basically not changed, but changed their names. So those criminals who commit the most heinous crimes cannot be released.

Of course, generally speaking, there will be amnesties in this kind of regime change, such as the emperor's accession to the throne, the change of the country name, the establishment of a queen, the establishment of a prince and so on. , or in the event of a major natural disaster, he often issued a pardon order. Generally speaking, when the new emperor ascended the throne or held a grand celebration in the palace, he usually pardoned a group of criminals. Therefore, after Yuan Shikai ascended the throne, some people will be released, but all of them are prisoners who have committed not particularly serious crimes. If some criminals commit murder or political crimes, they will not be released.

After that, the prison allowed parole, and the prisoner had a chance to be paroled. Some prisoners who meet the conditions for parole can be released on parole, so the mobility of prison prisoners is still particularly large. You know, in the replacement, the prisoners who can get the chance of commutation and release are all prisoners with very light criminal circumstances. Those murderers who have committed heinous crimes cannot be released.
