Paragraph 2, Article 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 2003 stipulated that in the People’s Police and the People’s Army, apart from the investigating bodies prescribed in Article 110 of this Code, if other agencies assigned to conduct a number of investigating activities detect cases showing criminal signs while performing their tasks, they shall have the right to institute criminal cases, conduct initial investigating activities and transfer the case files to competent investigating bodies within seven days after issuing the decisions to institute criminal cases. On that basis, Article 23 of Ordinance of Organization of Criminal Investigation in 2004 states: detention camp while doing their duties, which detect the signs of the crime under the jurisdiction of the investigating police agency to investigate the provisions of Article 11 of this Ordinance, Superintendent of Prisons decides prosecute the case, taking testimony, examine the scene, examination review, seizure, custody and preserve physical evidence and documents directly related to the case, transfer the case file to the investigating police agency that has jurisdiction within seven days from the date of the decision to prosecute the case.

The research results of the thesis shall contribute to supplementing and completing additional arguments for the initial investigation of cases performed by inmates in detention centers under the Ministry of Public Security.
