The detained president of Yoon Suk Yeol was found to have been held in solitary confinement of about 3 pyeong in a detention center.

Tensions are flowing in front of the detention center with a rally of supporters and pro-impeachment groups calling for President Yoon's release.

I'm connecting you to a reporter on the spot. Reporter Yoon Taein!It's the second day since President

Yoon was arrested, how is the situation in the detention center?

[Reporter]
Supporters have been sitting in front of the main gate of the detention center here and holding a rally for several days.

Now, dozens of supporters are sitting with chairs on one side of the parking lot, asking for the president's release, etc.
After lunch time
, the tension remains here as pro-impeachment rally participants sit down and play songs loudly.

Police are also separating the assembly spaces on both sides to maintain order, preparing for any contingencies such as physical conflicts.

Earlier, President Yoon's side said it was difficult to attend today's notice from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to be investigated.

As a result, President Yoon was not seen moving from the detention center.

President Yoon, who was arrested on the 15th, went through the admission process after the warrant was issued yesterday.

Like other inmates, they were found to have taken admission procedures, such as changing into khaki outstanding uniforms with accommodation numbers instead of plain clothes and taking mug shots.

After undergoing a simple physical examination, President Yoon is using a solitary cell used by ordinary inmates, not a solitary cell shared by several people,
As with other presidents who were imprisoned in detention centers before
, President Yoon was found to have been imprisoned in solitary confinement with a size of 3.6 to 3.7 pyeong.

Also, the bath time is adjusted so that it does not overlap with other inmates,

It is known that although there is some courtesy as President, he does not receive any special benefits that distinguish him from other prisoners.

This morning's breakfast, like other inmates, was served with radish soup and pickled peppers, and seaweed soup and braised saury were served for lunch.

Since the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has banned President Yoon from interviewing the general public, only lawyers are allowed to interview, and family members or security officials are not allowed to interview.

How is the presidential security of the security service done in the detention center?

[Reporter]
President Yoon is a arrested suspect, but he maintains his current presidency, so the security of the presidential security service continues.

As a result, some of the security officials are still residing at the Seoul Detention Center Office.

The reason why the security agency cannot protect the security office where President Yoon is located is because the detention center is responsible for managing prisoners.

Even before President Yoon's arrest, the security service could only protect outside the detention center's security office,

Even when President Yoon went out for court appearance, he could only keep around the Ministry of Justice's convoy.

When President Yoon leaves the detention center for investigation by investigative agencies, he must take a convoy of the Ministry of Justice rather than a security guard vehicle.Regarding accepting

Yoon's detention center, Shin Yong-hae, head of the Department of Justice's correctional headquarters, told the National Assembly Judiciary Committee today that he is also working with the bodyguard to ensure that there are no problems.

Regarding some supporters' insistence that "the president should be brought out of the detention center," he added that it would not happen because they are also working with the police to thoroughly guard the perimeter.

So far, I'm YTN Yoon Tae-in at the Seoul Detention Center.
