This is twice the amount of 100,803,760 won received by the second-place inmate and more than three times the amount of 73,959,959 won received by the third-place inmate. According to the legal community, this prisoner is known as former professor Jeong.
It is said that the money received by former professor Jeong was sent by supporters of former Justice Minister Cho Kook to cheer him up.
According to the ‘Management Guidelines for Young Chi Money’, which is a standard rule of the Ministry of Justice, money can be received regardless of the amount. However, the maximum amount of money that prisoners can keep in correctional facilities is 3 million won. The amount in excess of this is kept in a personal account in the name of the prisoner opened at the detention center’s bank, and it can be brought back within the limit of 3 million won if the money is used. Any money not spent until the end of the sentence will be paid upon release.
The maximum daily usage limit per inmate is less than 20,000 won. The daily usage limit is limited to the purchase of food, etc., and the purchase expenses such as medical care, clothing, bedding, medicine, daily necessities, and books are excluded from the usage limit.
Meanwhile, Professor Jeong recently applied for suspension of execution on the grounds of aggravating chronic diseases such as herniated discs.
