It has been confirmed that President Yoon Seok-yeol, who began his life as an inmate for the first time in history while serving as the incumbent president, was assigned the inmate number '0010'.


President Yoon, who went from being a suspect under arrest to a detained suspect, completed the formal admission procedures last night and was assigned the inmate number '0010'.


Wearing a pretrial detainee uniform marked with inmate number '0010', President Yoon moved to the general detention block and is reported to have spent his first night in a single cell.


Shin Yong-hae, Director of the Correction Headquarters at the Ministry of Justice, appeared before the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee for a current affairs inquiry and stated, "He has completed the transfer from the suspect waiting room to the general detention block, and I have received a report that he spent the night well in the general detention block."


The place where President Yoon is detained is a single cell measuring approximately 3.6 to 3.7 pyeong, unlike the suspect waiting room which is about 6 pyeong. Upon opening the door, there is a space for various activities or sleeping, and behind it is a restroom.


It is reported that he was assigned a room on the first floor of the detention block to minimize contact with other inmates.


In the single cell, President Yoon is known to be reviewing various documents.



Meanwhile, the Correction Headquarters is continuing consultations with the Security Office regarding specific security measures for President Yoon, with Security Office personnel waiting nearby inside the detention center and providing protection whenever President Yoon moves.
