The Ministry of Justice decided to accept some of the coronavirus cases in the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul at the Legal Affairs Training Institute in Jincheon, Chungbuk. Since there is no more space to be isolated in the saturated national correctional facilities, the Jincheon Training Center will be used as a living treatment facility.

Comprehensive coverage of the JoongAng Ilbo on the 6th, the Ministry of Justice decided to release some of the confirmed cases in the eastern detention center for sentence execution, and then accept them at the Jincheon Legal Training Institute. The subject of transfer is limited to cases in which sentence execution suspension is decided among confirmed prisoners. It is said that there will be hundreds of personnel.

As a result of the 6th full test, the number of corona confirmed patients from the Eastern Detention Center increased by 66 to a cumulative 1,161. Previously, about 400 people were dispersed in North Gyeongsangbuk-do 2nd Prison, but 672 confirmed patients were quarantined in the Dongbu Detention Center. The risk of further infection by non-infected individuals is also high in situations where there are many entry and exit of new prisoners.

On the morning of the morning, Kim Jae-sul, head of the medical department of the Ministry of Justice, said, “We are actively pursuing a plan to appoint an additional legal training center if the capacity of the Icheon Defense Language Institute, Gyeonggi-do, already designated as a life treatment center, exceeds its capacity.” At the end of last month, the Ministry of Justice transferred some of the confirmed detainees in the Dongbu detention center to the Life Therapy Center of the Defense Language Institute in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province. Only for confirmed persons who have received a decision to suspend execution.

At the time, the prisoners were civilians and were not confirmed. An official at the prosecution said, “Private houses are concentrated near the Judicial Research and Training Institute, and there is a possibility that prisoners of sentence execution may escape.” The backlash from Jincheon residents is also expected.

Prosecutor Han said, “I do not know the detailed circumstances, but in such a crisis situation, it is natural for public officials to take risks and inconveniences anywhere. However, the authorities should explain well to Jincheon residents and seek understanding.”

On the controversy date, an official from the Ministry of Justice said, “If a large number of confirmed cases come out in the future, we are only considering it as one of the candidate sites to be designated as a life treatment center.”
