Former President Lee Myung-bak will continue his imprisonment again tomorrow, right?

[기자]

Former President Lee Myung-bak was sentenced to 17 years in prison last Thursday in the Supreme Court.

It was in a situation in which he was released for stay of execution, as he filed a new appeal against the cancellation of the bond.

When the sentence is confirmed, he returns to the detention center.

The prosecution had planned to execute the sentence together with the Supreme Court ruling, but the former president requested that it be postponed for reasons such as hospital treatment.

The place of attendance is said to be the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, and it is 2 pm.

Former President Lee is scheduled to depart from his home in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, tomorrow afternoon, first attend the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, and then travel in a prosecution vehicle to the detention center.

It is said that the detention center will use a regular vehicle instead of a convoy, since it is still before incarceration, that is, in a state of disability.

The place where former President Lee will be imprisoned is the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul, where he was imprisoned in the past.

Previously, former President Lee was incarcerated at the Eastern Detention Center for a year before being released on bail in March of the following year after an arrest warrant was issued in March 2018 during the trial.

This time, as at that time, he is expected to stay alone in a living room.

Although the prisons for unconvicted and convicted prisoners are different, the size of the solitary room itself is expected to be similar to the size of 13.07 m2, 3.95 pyeong, in addition to the bathroom in the past.

A dedicated prison guard will be appointed in consideration of expropriation cases of the former president, but procedures such as physical examination, storage of belongings, and taking photographs of prison records are the same as for ordinary prisoners.

After incarceration, a classification selection will be made.

A degree from open treatment S1 to medium security treatment S4 is determined, and then a prison with an adequate security level is assigned.

However, the variable is that former President Lee complains of health problems.

If treatment seems difficult in other detention centers, such as Seowon Choi, it is expected that urgent treatment will first be received at the East Detention Center and then transferred to the appropriate prison.
