Detention and reeducation is an administrative punishment, which will leave a criminal record, but it is not a criminal record.
The punishment of prostitutes shall be the responsibility of the public security brigade of the public security organ. Public security organs must be commensurate with the facts, nature, circumstances and degree of social harm of illegal acts, and it is strictly forbidden to substitute fines for punishment, reeducation through labor, detention education and administrative detention.
The criminal record is aimed at the punishment of violating public security management. Usually this record is kept in personal files, not in the household registration system, and cannot be erased. Unless the data is out of sync, the public security organ at the place where the household registration is registered is unaware of it, but the public security organ at the place where it is handled must have a record. The record of illegal crimes generally has a light impact and will not affect the political review of individuals' joining the party and participating in work in the later period.
Criminal record refers to the record of illegal or criminal acts committed by judicial organs against illegal personnel or criminal suspects, defendants or criminals, and generally refers to the file registration of acts violating the Public Security Administration Punishment Law or the Criminal Law. Files are generally kept in the public security department. Prostitution is an illegal act that endangers social morality, but it does not constitute a crime.
In order to protect the privacy and basic human rights of violators, public security organs will not disclose or inquire to third parties or institutions, except in cases of disclosure and inquiry according to law.
