Korea`s first privately run prison is scheduled to open in Gyeonggi Province as
early as 2005, the Justice Ministry said yesterday.
"Agape," a Christian foundation, recently signed a contract
with the ministry to open a private prison that would accommodate up to 600
inmates, ministry officials said. Under
the contract, the Christian organization will be responsible for the
construction and management of the jail, including personnel affairs. The
government will reimburse part of the operating costs by providing subsidies and
various commodities up to 5 billion won per annum, the officials said.
