Judicial authorities are planning to introduce personalized correctional services and evidence-based practices for offenders in an effort to help them return to society.

According to the Ministry of Justice, these practices will complement other methods of corrections and help offenders readjust to society after being released.

The ministry's statistics show that community corrections services have been provided to inmates in more than 98 percent of cities, with a total of 1.02 million inmates receiving community corrections.

Community corrections refers to a range of alternatives to incarceration and services for non-violent offenders that are designed to help them boost their employment potential and ability to function in society after being released.

Since the community corrections system was established by an amendment to China's Criminal Law in May 2011, the amount of offenders receiving the service has increased by 8,000 to 10,000 monthly on average, according to the ministry.
