Special prisons for foreigners [Lost Nomad] will help prevent culture conflicts between local and foreign inmates? You know, I appreciate the Ministry of Justice’s sentiments, but if the prison culture in the foreigner prison resembles at all that of the United States, I think I’d take my chances in the Korean pen, thank you.

Wait- won’t the prisoners be deported from Korea after serving their sentences anyways? What’s the point of teaching them Korean then?
So they can interact with Korean gangs back on the home turf.
It’s nationalistic BS, dan, that’s why.

I agree. Like the criminals would really be interested in learning Korean anyway. What an utter waste of state resources.
Build a special prison just for those USFK offenders tried and sentenced to ROK prison terms under the SOFA!
Locate it near wherever the centralized inprocessing center is for newly arrived USFK members: that way new personnel can get a mandatory day tour of it as part of their inprocessing.
Staff it with the toughest, meanest looking tae kwon do ROK guards you can find. Central courtyard should be chockablock with big rocks needing to be broken.
On the day it opens, the USFK commander and chief honcho for Korean National Police should be photograhed in a joint ribbon-cutting ceremony. For maximum effect, they will need to be grim-faced; however, in the background there should be a cohort of Korean cab drivers, wearing the broadest possible grins.
How do you say “cheese” in Korean?

Koreans would usually say Kimchi when they have their photo taken. Funny how one foul-smelling foodstuff for another.
