14 confirmed coronaviruses related to the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul were added to 762 people as of 0:00 yesterday (29th).
Among them, one prisoner who was a severe hemodialysis patient was found to have died on the 27th. In 2003, the main offender of the so-called'Good Morning City sales fraud case' is Yoon Chang-yeol, who intercepted the pre-sale price of 370 billion won.
The correctional authorities explained that "Yoon died after receiving coronavirus confirmation on the 23rd, after receiving treatment for four days at an external hospital due to the decision to suspend execution."
Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae conducted a quarantine inspection at the Eastern Detention Center, but complaints from detainees are growing.
Some detainees even showed the reporters outside the window a paper that said, ``Eight people are accommodated in each confirmed room, and sending out letters is prohibited.
There was even a conflict over the quarantine failure.
When the Ministry of Justice announced its position that it seemed to be putting the responsibility for the delay in the full inspection of prisoners to Seoul and Songpa-gu, the city of Seoul expressed regret that the entire investigation was a matter that the relevant agencies had agreed upon after sufficient consultation, and that it was dismissing responsibility differently. .
In the meantime, 16 additional prisoners were confirmed negative at the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul and transferred to the Southern Prison, raising concerns about the massive spread to other correctional facilities.
