Public security detention is generally short, lasting more than 1 day and less than 15 days. The longest combined punishment for multiple illegal acts is 20 days. Even if the punishment is wrong, applying for relief will not stop the execution of the punishment.

However, there is one exception. Article 107 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment stipulates that if the punished person refuses to accept the decision on administrative detention, applies for administrative reconsideration or brings an administrative lawsuit, he may apply to the public security organ for suspending the execution of administrative detention.

If the public security organ thinks that the suspension of administrative detention will not cause social danger, the punished person or his close relatives shall provide qualified guarantors, or pay a deposit according to the daily 200 yuan standard of administrative detention, and the punishment decision of administrative detention shall be suspended.
