※ This video is part of <Documentary View - Another World, Prison> broadcast on December 23, 2019. As the number of inmates per correctional officer increases... At Anyang Prison, the oldest prison in Korea, 15-year veterans Kim Jeong-seop and Vice Principal Moon Sang-cheol work together as a duo. Their work area is the disciplinary investigation unit. This is where inmates who cause accidents or engage in problematic behaviors in the prison are investigated and punished. The rule is that each cell should be a single cell, but even with 36 cells full, they are having two inmates. Since they keep the problem inmates, there is never a day without incident, and they say they are constantly moving to meet even the smallest requests of the inmates. No matter how veteran the duo is, two people cannot meet all the needs of dozens of inmates. As the number of inmates overflows and the scope of responsibility of one correctional officer expands, rather than the original purpose of correction and education, they are busy listening to the demands of the inmates and dealing with accidents. From surprise inspections to checking on sleeping places, correctional officers have a lot of work to do due to lack of facilities. In prisons, inmates are divided into four levels, from S1 to S4, and managed. The higher the number, the more serious the crime, and the more vicious the criminal. Wonju Prison has the S4 unit, which has the highest number. The role of the CRPT Mobile Patrol Team, a dedicated team that is dispatched when there is a situation such as a disturbance, commotion, or assault by the inmates, becomes more important. However, due to the lack of facilities, ordinary negligent criminals and vicious criminals are sometimes mixed in the same room. Choi Nam-gyu, a correctional officer, is worried because if they are treated differently but are in the same room, there is a risk that inmates with lower crimes will be harmed or their criminal tendencies will be infected. In addition to checking for misconduct, they also have to check on sleeping places to prevent ranking among the inmates. Long nights in a prison where you can’t relax In prisons where you have to watch inmates 24 hours a day, night shifts are a must. In Daejeon Prison, Sergeant Kim Seong-su, who works a four-shift system, is in charge of the solitary cells where the biggest accidents can happen at night. Last year, seven inmates committed suicide due to correctional accidents. The night is an extremely dangerous time for inmates in solitary cells. In order to prevent correctional accidents, he has to patrol the cells every hour to check for inmates who are sick or harming themselves. The long hours of watching 26 cells on a small CCTV monitor screen alone are burdensome for Sergeant Kim Seong-su. He has to endure this lonely and tense time alone. ✔ Program name: Documentary View - Another World, Prison ✔ Broadcast date: 2019.12.23 #GolladyeonDocumentary #DocumentaryView #Prison #PrisonVlog #PrisonGuard #AnyangPrison #Anyang #Punishment #PunishmentCenter #Prisoner #Crime #Imprisonment #Prison #Inmate #Fight #Sideroom #Struggle
