The number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in the eastern detention center in Seoul is increasing rapidly, and the’Responsibility for Justice Minister Chu Miae’ is also growing. It is pointed out that Minister Chu was devoted only to’taking out’ of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and wasted three weeks of’Golden Time’ of quarantine. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun on behalf of the government on the 2nd apologized for the lack of initial response.

The chief executive officer of correctional facilities management under the Ministry of Justice is Minister Chu. Of course, from the beginning, Minister Chu had to take command to prevent the spread of the East Detention Center.

However, after the first infected person in the Eastern Detention Center, Minister Chu’s actions were far from quarantine. It did not even comment on the situation at the Eastern Detention Center until November 27, when an employee of the Eastern Detention Center was confirmed, as well as after the first total inspection on December 18, three weeks after the mass infection of 185 prisoners was confirmed. The eastern detention center became Abi Kyu-hwan due to Corona 19, but Minister Chu focused only on the discipline of President Yoon. After making a decision to exclude the job on November 24 last year, on December 16, the Minister of Justice was forced to enforce a disciplinary committee of the Ministry of Justice to make a two-month decision on suspension and then proposed a disciplinary proposal to President Moon Jae-in.
Minister Chu visited the Eastern Detention Center on December 29, when the number of confirmed cases exceeded 700. It has been 32 days since the first confirmed case. Until the day before his visit to the detention center, he posted a post on his YouTube personal account stating that he should impeach Yun, but did not mention the infection at the Eastern detention center.

The first official apology from the Ministry of Justice was also made by Vice Minister Lee Yong-gu of the Ministry of Justice, not Chu, through the’Corona 19 collective infection status and countermeasure briefing at correctional facilities’ on December 31 last year. It was pointed out that the measures announced on this day were only used to contemplate the rear book, such as “Payment of KF masks three times a week.” This is because the measures to quarantine and separate the confirmed patients and those who have not been infected have been omitted. The transfer of some mildly confirmed patients at the Eastern Detention Center included on this day raised concerns about the spread of infection to other correctional facilities.
Minister Chu apologized for the first time through his Facebook account on the 1st. After 35 days of the first confirmed case, a cumulative 945 people were infected. He said, “As the Minister of Justice, who is in charge of the correction work, I am very sorry for causing concern to the people.” On the 2nd, he repeatedly apologized, saying, “I regret to the public once again for the spread of the corona in the Eastern Detention Center.”
Not only the opposition party but also the ruling Democratic Party acknowledged that Minister Chu’s slow response. Democratic Party spokesman Kang Seon-woo said on the 3rd, “I regret it,” saying, “I take heavy reprimands from the people for not responding to the initial response.

Earlier, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun visited the Eastern Detention Center with Minister Chu on the 2nd and said, “If we had responded preemptively from the time the first confirmed case came out, it is very regrettable that the initial response was insufficient.” In the presence of Minister Chu, he rebuked the Ministry of Justice for its poor response. On the 31st of last month, the labor union of the Ministry of Justice filed a complaint with the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office on charges of abandonment of duty, on the grounds of responsibility for the mass proliferation of Dongbu detention centers.
