Let's connect a reporter who is out of the Seoul East Detention Center where former President Lee Myung-bak was imprisoned.



Reporter Kim Deok-hyun and former President Lee Myung-bak are now imprisoned in solitary detention centers as they did last year, right?



<Reporter>



Yes, former President Lee finished eating with dinner for inmates along with other inmates around 5 pm.



The menu was tofu mushroom soup and saury kimchi stew.



It is known that he is currently taking a break, and his bedtime is 9pm.



Previously, the former President Lee arrived at the Eastern Detention Center at around 2:41 pm and immediately entered the jail process.



In the case of general inmates, procedures such as physical examination, removal of belongings, and taking pictures of prison records take place for about an hour.



Although the detention center did not specifically disclose it, it is known that former President Lee also followed the same procedure.



Former President Lee was assigned a solitary room just like he was imprisoned last year.It is a room of about 4 pyeong with a toilet, which is slightly larger than that of former President Park Geun-hye's Seoul Detention Center, and has a TV, bedding, desk, and sink.



<Anchor> If



the sentence is confirmed in the trial, it is common to stay in a detention center and then move to prison. So is there a possibility that the former president will also move to prison in the future?



<Reporter>



Yes, the correctional authorities will sooner or later conduct an expense classification review against the former President.



It is to determine the level of supervision required by the correctional authority.



Prisons are usually assigned according to this result, which is released after about a month, and inmates with periodic custody are transferred to the assigned prison through this process.



However, if you look at the health problems of former President Lee, an 80-year-old man, and the precedents of former presidents such as Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo, there is a possibility that he will continue to stay in the Eastern Detention Center.



An official at the Eastern Detention Center said that it has not been decided whether to transfer former President Lee and will consider health issues.
