First, special protection for women in criminal trials.

Both the Law of the Tang Dynasty and the Criminal Code of the Song Dynasty stipulate that it is forbidden to interrogate female prisoners who enjoy the privileges of deliberation, petition and commutation during the trial, and their conviction is based on "multiple evidences", that is, the testimony of more than three people. The interrogation regulations of the Ming and Qing Dynasties further stipulated that female prisoners who committed serious crimes such as rape, theft and human life should respond in person, while those who were punished for other trivial matters and involvement could be replaced by men such as sons, nephews and brothers to protect their reputations.

Second, the special protection of women in the prison system.

There was a litigation system in the Han Dynasty, and pregnant women who should be imprisoned after trial were exempted from wearing instruments of torture in prison. In the third year after Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: "Anyone who is over 80 years old and under 8 years old, who is pregnant and not breast-feeding, and who is a teacher and apprentice, should be brought to court." The Song Dynasty followed the system that pregnant women in the Han Dynasty did not need to wear torture devices, and there were certain regulations on the use of prison devices. Before entering prison, prisoners need to be examined by prison doctors to determine whether female prisoners are pregnant.

If you are pregnant, you can avoid wearing instruments of torture. For ordinary female prisoners, there are also differences in the use of prison equipment, reducing the instruments of torture worn by female prisoners. "Prison is forbidden, the death penalty is twisted, the woman is twisted, and the stick is forbidden." With regard to the detention system of prisoners, the Song Dynasty followed the provisions of the Tang Dynasty, holding female prisoners separately, and implementing the principle of "prisoners with different levels, men and women in separate prisons". Changed the chaotic state of early prisons. The Ming Dynasty continued to reform prison management, and the detention measures for female prisoners became a pioneering work in the history of prison management in the world.

It is stipulated that female prisoners should be held in places without prison equipment. Female prisoners who commit other minor crimes, except felonies, shall be kept by their husbands, other relatives and neighbors. The article "Women's Crimes" in Daming Law stipulates: "All crimes committed by women are prohibited except rape and capital crimes, and the rest miscellaneous crimes are kept by the husband.

If you don't have a husband, you are responsible for paying relatives and neighbors to raise them. You are at your disposal and you are not allowed to supervise them. "Reducing the number of prisoners in national prisons is to strengthen the management of key criminals, and it also reflects the special care for female prisoners.
