Ousted South Korean President Park Geun-Hye is now just prisoner 503, incarcerated in a spartan cell while prosecutors decide whether to indict her over a corruption scandal that precipitated her fall from grace.
The former President spent her first night in solitary confinement at Seoul Detention Centre after a court on Friday ordered her to be held pending charges. She had her mugshot taken and was given a prison kit including toiletries, a meal tray and a quilt, reports said. The chest of her uniform was emblazoned with her prison number — 503. She burst into tears as guards showed her to her cell, reports said.
