They included a nurse alleged to have ordered other inmates to beat Sun, and the inmates accused of complying. But the major accomplice in Sun's death got off free. The bulk of the blame for Sun's death ought to fall on a little-known system of administrative detention?that is, detention outside of the criminal justice system?whereby Chinese citizens can be locked up merely for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. "Custody and repatriation," as the system...
