Chapter 287: Taking the Banquet Table (5)
Death sentence injunction.
In short, this means that all death row inmates will be considered executed, considered dead, and permanently isolated from society.
Visits are, of course, prohibited. How can a death row inmate who has already died meet his family, acquaintances, or outsiders?
TV, radio, newspapers, books, etc. are also banned. How could the dead know about the outside world?
All you can see is other death row inmates.
They were not even allowed to meet with prison guards, and were only subject to the control and supervision of android guards.
The only exception is when you are undergoing surgery or other medical procedures due to illness. Even then, communication with the medical staff is strictly limited and can only be done via Android.
The death penalty injunction system enjoyed widespread public support.
Of course, there were people who opposed this as well.
Those who opposed the death penalty injunction system were largely pro-death penalty supporters.
“Just execute them cleanly. Even the US executes people, so what are you afraid of?”
“If we execute someone for even the slightest injustice, there is no going back. People only have one life.”
“Even if there is one unjust death, wouldn’t it be right to kill a hundred vicious criminals to appease the resentment of their bereaved families?”
“Would you say that if one of those innocent victims was you or a family member?”
“I can do it. Even if I or my family were to become one of those innocent victims, if only social justice could be established through execution, I would be willing to make any sacrifice.”
“Look at the madness. This is crazy.”
“If I were to be in that unfair situation, I would pour out all the curses on the world. But I only have my mouth.”
The death penalty injunction system also enjoyed considerable support among abolitionists.
“The reason I am against the death penalty is because if it is carried out, it cannot be reversed even if it is later proven to be unjust.”
“This is an injunction, so it can be reversed at any time. Until then, it will be considered as death.”
“This isn’t too bad.”
Pure human rights advocates opposed the death penalty injunction system, saying, “Even for death row inmates, it is too harsh a treatment.”
“No matter what, even death row inmates have human rights. They are innate and essential and cannot be taken away by any system or law.”
“In any case, death row inmates can’t come out into the world until they die. There’s no parole. But it’s too cruel to not be able to see them or hear any news from the world for the rest of their lives.”
“What crime have the families of death row inmates committed? No matter how much of a death row inmate they are, they are my family and I miss them, but not being able to see them for the rest of my life is a secondary harm to the family.”
There were also strong attacks on this claim.
“The bereaved families who lost their loved ones to those death row inmates will not be able to see their loved ones until they die?”
“The victims’ families will never be able to meet each other again, but the perpetrators’ families can meet each other at any time. Isn’t this unreasonable?”
“You should try saying that in front of the families of those who lost their loved ones to murderers.”
A public opinion poll showed that more than 85% supported the death penalty injunction system.
Even if 85% were against it, the government would have pushed through this bill.
Because it was the only means to silence America’s diplomatic attacks that could not be revealed to the world.
Thus, the bill passed the State Council and was approved by the plenary session of the National Assembly, becoming official law.
[Prime Construction, Exclusive Bidding for Construction of Prison for Death Row Inmates!]
Although the project cost hundreds of billions of won, no one other than Prime Construction submitted a bid.
Because if you interfere with what the swimming group is trying to do, you never know what kind of retaliation you might receive.
The conglomerates were afraid of the Suyeong Group, which controlled electricity, telecommunications, steel, and food.
If they had put their mind to it, the swimming group could have killed all the other diarrheas.
If other construction companies only repeat ‘cost bidding’ while chasing after every construction project in the country, their losses will pile up and they will eventually have to close down their business.
[A prison exclusively for death row inmates, built with cylindrical pillars.]
[There are no windows at all, and even the walkable garden exists within concrete walls and ceilings.]
A 3D rendering of a death row prison has been released.
The dull exterior, completely covered in gray, boasted a dystopian atmosphere.
There are a total of four entrances, but only one is operational during normal times, and the other three are tightly closed.
The rest were entrances added only to account for emergency disasters such as fires and earthquakes.
Usually, once a bill is passed, it goes into effect after a certain period of promulgation.
The same goes for the death penalty injunction system.
Because of this, the families of death row inmates were busy trying to meet their families as much as possible before visits were completely blocked.
***
Most of the military and prosecutors who actively participated in the civil war were sentenced to death in the first trial.
Judges who, because of their friendship with the defendant, betrayed their conscience and did not sentence the defendant to death had to suffer the humiliation of having their own and their family’s corruption exposed to the world the next day.
Among those sentenced to death were sitting Supreme Court justices and the Prosecutor General.
Even the ruling party leader Lee Yong-soo was sentenced to death, causing great shock nationwide.
The death penalty is enforced through three trials.
But everyone expected that even if it went to the third trial, the result would not change.
The people’s hatred and contempt for the instigators of the civil war for personal gain was not at a level that could be evolved.
***
Children of sentenced army generals, judges, prosecutors, and politicians were busy moving around.
“This country is now ruined. It’s dirty, so I’m leaving.”
They took all the property they could, spewing all kinds of curses.
All of his parents’ assets were frozen, and most of the gifted assets were under seizure, so there wasn’t much he could collect.
In particular, real estate, stocks, and bonds received from parents were all frozen, regardless of whether they were given as gifts or sold.
Therefore, the only things that adult children in their middle age could take care of were deposits in their own name and personal property such as precious metals.
“Dad, do we really have to leave?”
“You rascal. Grandfather has been sentenced to death. Do you think the rest of us will be able to live comfortably in this land from now on? Stop nagging and just pack your bags quickly.”
My father carried out brutal political revenge investigations whenever he was harmed even a little.
They harassed and harassed the other person with all sorts of investigations until he committed suicide, making it impossible for him to participate in social activities.
Having grown up seeing a father like that, it was only natural that all sorts of harsh retaliation would fall on me now that my family was in ruins.
“Still, it’s fortunate that I have a US permanent resident card. From now on, I can live quietly in the US as if I don’t exist.”
He had to flee the country in the middle of the night without even taking 5% of his vast wealth.
I was worried that he might be banned from leaving the country, but fortunately, it didn’t seem like he had even reached his family.
But the problem arose at an American airport.
“You are subject to a permanent entry ban. You must leave the United States immediately, today.”
“Huh? No, I’m a permanent resident! Banned from entering the country, permanently! That’s ridiculous!”
“How dare you protest at an American airport, security guard! Arrest this guy immediately!”
I just complained because it was so absurd, but the fat immigration officer immediately called the security guard.
They were forced to buy tickets to Korea and board a flight back home that same day.
I was under the surveillance of airport security personnel until the moment of boarding, and I had to be watched by the flight attendants while on the plane.
Something similar happened to all the families of those who were active in the civil war.
The family, even their grandchildren, were not allowed to enter the United States.
-We do not accept terrorist bloodlines into the United States because they pose a potential terrorist threat to the United States.
The United States has steadfastly maintained its security policy.
It is a natural security measure for the United States not to accept families of terrorists.
This resulted in the forced deportation of family members of active participants who were already living in the United States.
Although he did not directly commit terrorism, he cannot be put in prison, but he was kicked out of the United States on the pretext that he is the family member of a terrorist.
Families who were denied entry to the country by active participants in the civil war, or who were banned from residing and expelled, scraped together all their remaining assets and left for other countries.
Most of them headed to Japan.
Fortunately, Japan accepted them without much comment.
Some families who had little money to spare to avoid freezing and seizure chose Southeast Asia because they were woefully short of assets to establish themselves in Japan.
Active participants sentenced to death wanted to spend one last visit with their families before the death penalty injunction took effect.
However, the family members foolishly gave up on visiting and went off to find their own way of living.
The families of those who actively participated in the rebellion were so devastated that they could not recover.
Those who were able to escape the world’s criticism and flee overseas to places like Japan and Southeast Asia were fortunate.
Those who could not secure immigration funds had no choice but to remain in Korea.
Fortunately, their identities were never exposed, so they were able to somewhat avoid being caught by their neighbors or new workplace by keeping their heads down and pretending not to know anything.

“Mr. President, I think everything is in order now.”
The chief of staff and other aides sighed and reassured the president.
However, President Park Boo-sung’s expression was not so bright.
“You all seem to be feeling at ease. Do you think it’s all over now?”
“Mr. President?”
“The actions of the United States, which seemed like they would not only destroy our Republic of Korea and the ROK-US alliance, but even go to war… The android unit that suddenly appeared, drove out the Su-bang-sa unit, and protected Cheongdam-dong… Do you feel at ease after seeing that?”
The chief secretary turned pale and stopped him.
“Mr. President, it is dangerous to clash with Cheongdam-dong!”
“…….”
“Counting days? Have I ever counted days even once?”
“Even when the Army guys complained that they were discriminated against compared to the Navy and Air Force, I ignored them. I tried to be closer to Cheongdam-dong than any politician or person from the Army.”
Since it wasn’t a false statement, everyone just kept their mouths shut and listened.
“If you look closely, this civil war was caused by the prosecution and the Yeouido guys ignoring me and running wild among themselves, and the fire spread to the army. Isn’t that right?”
“…….”
“You know what I’m really worried about right now? Cheongdam-dong has more power than we thought, and is much closer to the United States than we expected. The world has confirmed that.”
“What Mr. President said is… that there is a possibility that forces that are afraid of Cheongdam-dong will emerge again?”
“Do bugs go extinct just because they’ve been quarantined once? As time passes, they develop resistance and come back in a dirtier and darker place.”
“…….”
“This time, we stopped it cheaply by introducing the death penalty injunction system and exterminating the active participants. I’m worried about when the next government will be established. Time makes people forget, and there’s no guarantee that a second or third Lee Yong-sik-like friend won’t appear again.”
If you are simple, you might think it is the president’s foresight to worry about the complex triangle relationship between Cheongdam-dong, the Blue House, and Korea and the United States.
But those gathered there immediately realized that there was some political intention hidden in the president’s words.
‘I think I have to serve as prime minister for a long time so that no more troublemakers like Lee Yong-sik, the army, or the prosecution can act for this country. No one else can do this job.’
