Our reporters got a letter from a detainee to his family at the Seoul East Detention Center, where the number of confirmed cases continues to increase.

In the nine-page letter, it was written in detail by date that the virus had spread because the detention center did not respond properly and in time.



Reporter Lee Hyun-young covered it alone.

The family of A prisoner in the Seoul East Detention Center received the letter they received almost every day after a week.



In a nine-page letter, Mr. A explained the situation by date after the confirmed corona19 in the eastern detention center came out and claimed that the detention center's actions were poor.



On the 19th of last month, even though the employee who was diagnosed with coronavirus and the prisoners whose traffic lines overlapped were quarantined, other prisoners were immediately housed in the room and the contact was not quickly tested.



On the 18th, they claimed to have carried out a corona test after leaving all prisoners outside without wearing masks properly.



He argued that the explosion of confirmed cases was a problem that emerged from the process of moving prisoners from room to room, that is, breaking and merging rooms.



We divided and combined rooms, dividing the confirmed, close contact, and non-contact according to the results of the test, but the question is whether the hidden confirmed person carried the virus.



In fact, some of the prisoners who tested negative on the first test tested positive on the second test five days later.



[Inmate's family: I can't really tell people who are not confirmed right now.

It is dangerous to tear those people right now and send them to each prison.] In



particular, it is not easy to confirm the coronavirus confirmation of the family being incarcerated and the transfer to another correctional institution, so the anxiety of the family is growing.



[Inmate's family: I don't teach even if I call, and I say'I'm going to text'...

Just looking at the shape of the letters and letters, my heart goes down now.] The



Ministry of Justice said, "The move of the prisoners' room is decided according to the guidelines of the quarantine authorities." "We are accepting it."
