Way to go South Korea

On the 15th, Criminal Division 1 single-judge panel Judge Park Ji-won of the Seoul Western District Court sentenced Somali, who was charged with interfering with business and distributing fabricated sexual videos under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, to six months in prison and 20 days of detention, and ordered a five-year employment restriction at institutions related to children, teenagers, and people with disabilities.

I feel like he should definitely be in there longer than 6 months, but I also have no idea what hard labour in a South Korean actually looks like

They're kind of saving him IMO. He had a bounty on his head to track him from people that don't seem to fuck around.

Slavery is never justified, but this guy certainly makes a hard argument for it.

It looks average I guess. I know Japanese prisons are some of the worse of any 1st world nation, so I kinda assumed SK would be similar. The documentary could also be putting a more humane angle then it deserves.

Sounds like he'll be put in a cell with about 4 other people, unless there's a need to isolate him. He'll probably get isolated in a week after his cellmates beat his ass.

This is also hard labor and this boy is soft as hell. He will not be having a good time.

Well, they probably want to make the message clear, while also not spending too much money on him.

Every day he is in their system he is costing them money.
