The Report on Human Rights Situation in the Republic of Korea imprisonment with labor for life without a reduced sentence or parole for a fixed period of time, maintaining the death penalty as an exception during the time of war, etc. can be considered, and whether to adopt these measures must be considered by the National Assembly during the legislative process. Many countries that abolished the death penalty and maintain the life imprisonment have introduced a relative life imprisonment where the life imprisonment sentence can be reconsidered after a certain period of time has elapsed. The US, etc. are enforcing absolute life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, and Spain, etc. have adopted imprisonment for a definitive duration, not life imprisonment. If we can consider methods to achieve the punitive purpose, instead of the death penalty, we need to prepare alternative punishments by comprehensively considering the Korean penal system, operating status, victims and people’s legal sentiments, overseas examples, the Constitution and international human rights standards, etc. 2) Problems with the Use of Protective Gear at the Immigration Detention Center and Long-Term Detention A) Use of Improper Protective Gear at Hwaseong Immigration Detention Center and Criticisms Undocumented foreigners are held at the immigration detention centers until they leave the country.
