As a South Korean I'm lowkey surprised that most reactions posted here is describing the detention experience to be some kind of human rights abuse. Most Koreans debating on Internet demand severe punishment so criminals be afraid of getting jailed. I know this is a very questionable strategy, but afaik this is the most dominant public sentiment over this topic.

Being treated as innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is considered to be a fundamental right in the West.
That's noble until an innocent person gets jailed.
