Lee Eun-hae, Convicted in 'Valley Murder', Disciplined for Stamp Gambling in Detention Center

Lee Eun-hae, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the so-called "valley murder" case, has reportedly been disciplined for gambling with stamps while in a detention center.

According to data obtained on October 8 by legal circles and the office of Representative Kim Ki-pyo of the Democratic Party of Korea, who sits on the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, Lee received a disciplinary punishment of nine days in solitary confinement in July of last year while detained at the Incheon Detention Center.

Stamp gambling refers to the act of gambling using postage stamps as a transaction medium equivalent to cash.

Solitary confinement is the heaviest disciplinary measure imposed on inmates, restricting visits, phone calls, and TV viewing while placing the individual in a single cell.

It was initially known that Lee was incarcerated at the Cheongju Women's Correctional Institution, but she was reportedly transferred between facilities, including the Incheon Detention Center.

Over the past four years, 1,021 inmates have been disciplined for stamp gambling alongside Lee.

Additionally, data showed that 2,890 inmates purchased more than 1 million won worth of stamps across correctional facilities nationwide last year.
