Former South Korean President Park Geun hye's prison remains secret and still has privileges.

Updated: Jun 5

On the stage of South Korean politics, Park Geun hye was once a brilliant sight, but under the changing political situation, she fell into a abyss.

Her fate underwent a dramatic transformation from controlling Seoul's Blue House to becoming a prisoner.


Park Geun hye's life is not only a portrayal of her personal tragedy, but also reflects the multifaceted issues in society.



Park Geun hye's daily life in prison is strictly controlled, and every day from the morning roll call, the schedule is followed step by step.


Her diet and activities are limited to a very limited range, and her once luxurious lifestyle and freedom have long been a thing of the past.


Although her conditions in prison were relatively good compared to other prisoners, this change was undoubtedly a huge blow to the former leader.

Each meal may only consist of half a bowl of simple food, and for Park Geun hye, who is accustomed to enjoying state banquets, this is undoubtedly a spiritual torment.


In addition to strict living arrangements, Park Geun hye's psychological state in prison has also received much attention.

It is understood that she spends some time reading and occasionally taking walks, which are one of her few spiritual comforts.


Her favorite book is "Tokugawa Ieyasu", which seems to have many similarities with her life.


However, the former leader clearly felt lonely and confused, and the loneliness and oppression in her imprisoned life occasionally tested her spirit and body.

Her life also includes a faint hope for improving living conditions.


Park Geun hye once requested improvements to the facilities in her cell, such as changing wallpapers, to make her environment slightly more comfortable.


Although these demands may sound insignificant, in her current situation, even the smallest changes may bring great psychological comfort.

However, these requests are often rejected, resulting in her daily environment remaining rudimentary and oppressive.


Despite Park Geun hye's simple living conditions, her treatment in prison has still attracted attention from the outside world.

Her cell was empty on both sides, and although this isolation measure was for safety reasons, it undoubtedly increased her sense of isolation.


She spends most of her time under surveillance, and this 24-hour non-stop monitoring almost leaves her with no personal space or time.


Although the pace of prison life remains unchanged, Park Geun hye still strives to seek psychological comfort.


She maintains contact with the outside world through occasional television programs, which becomes her only way to understand the outside world.


Although she can only see limited channels, occasional movies or programs may slightly alleviate her mental burden.

In addition, her occasional meetings with lawyers are also an important way for her to communicate with the outside world, although she has included her family on the list of denied meetings.


Society's attitudes towards Park Geun hye are complex and varied. Some people still support her, believing that she is a sacrifice in the struggle;


Another group of people believe that her resignation is a manifestation of justice and a deserved punishment for her mistakes.


When supporters chanted slogans of support outside the prison, these voices undoubtedly gave Park Geun hye some psychological support.


Despite her poor physical and psychological condition, this external attention at least made her feel that she had not been completely forgotten.

Park Geun hye's future is still full of uncertainty.


Although some people have called for amnesty, the strictness of the legal process and the long sentence she faces seem to make this possibility unlikely.


Her health condition and old age have raised concerns about whether she will be able to regain her freedom after serving her sentence.


Every day she spent in prison was a double test of her mental and physical well-being.
