    Can any South Koreans with experience of ‘prison with labor’ weigh in? What can he expect to experience in there? How do you think he’ll come out of it? Will he have learned his lesson?

      Not South Korean, I was stationed there for a bit and my flatmate was a Korean who went to prison for 14 days or so for some minor infraction.

      He came back a bit traumatized by the ordeal. From what he described he could only sit on the ground. He’d wake up, go somewhere, and just sit all day. I think he was fed while sitting too somehow? At the end of the day he went back to bed and repeat it all again when he woke up.

      He swore he’d change his ways and not break the law anymore so maybe it worked?
