The Harbin Women's Prison in Heilongjiang Province have designated the 11th and 13th brigades as the so called, brigades of "attack the steadfast practitioners," where they try to "transform" Dafa practitioners using violence. The captain of the 11th brigade Lu Jinghua, the captain of the 13th brigade Wang Xiaoli, and vice captain Jia Wenjun and others use sentence reductions to bribe the criminal prisoners into violently "transforming" Dafa practitioners. They also told the prisoners that they would award them 2,000 yuan for each Dafa practitioner they "transform."

Tortures include handcuffing practitioners on the ceiling where practitioners' feet are 10 cm from the ground; continuously disallowing eating and sleeping; force-feeding once every three days, and so on. Eight criminal prisoners together torture one practitioner. Criminal prisoner Xu Zhen is the main executer and planner of persecution.
