Minister Park visited the Eastern Detention Center instead of visiting the prefecture for the first time. Is there any special reason?

Minister Park said that he visited the Eastern Detention Center with the thought that the COVID-19 quarantine was a public welfare.
First of all, I apologized for regretting to the people that there were many confirmed cases in the Eastern Detention Center.
He stressed that the number of corona19 confirmed cases is increasing between the two and three days, and he emphasized that the prosecution should deal strictly with the extent that the prosecution can interfere with quarantine.
In particular, he said that the problem of overcrowding of correctional facilities has already reached its limit only by administrative measures, and that it must be improved to suit the international level.
In this regard, he added that he asked for help to the Minister of Strategy and Finance, Hong Nam-ki, who oversees the budget.
He also explained that the human rights aspects of prisoners in the detention facilities should be reviewed once again and closely examined if there is any way to improve them.
Minister Park was negative in the Corona 19 Rapid Antigen Test he received at the Eastern Detention Center today.

Secretary Park also revealed that he would meet with President Yoon Suk-yeol to greet the prosecution, right?

Yes, Minister Park said the most important task other than quarantine is, of course, the reform of the prosecution.
He explained that the prosecution officer’s personnel, expected next month, seemed to be an important urgent need, and that they began to understand the situation and are planning.
He added that the meeting with President Yoon Seok-yeol will be held after the principles and standards have been refined.
Minister Park emphasized yesterday that tasks related to prosecution reform and innovation in legal administration are absolutely necessary, and at the hearing, he said that he would solve the problem through communication.
Secretary Park’s official term of office has begun, but it is unlikely that the inauguration ceremony will be held today.
It is known that the schedule for awarding the president’s appointment letter has not yet been set.
