The Correctional Federation of Daegu Regional Correctional Office, led by Chairman Shin Jeong-ki, held its first quarter 2025 executive meeting at Chipalseon in Jincheon-dong, Daegu on March 25.

The Daegu Correctional Federation is a correctional volunteer organization that helps inmates reintegrate into society at 19 correctional facilities in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam.

More than 60 people attended the event, including Kim Dong-hyun, the head of the Daegu Regional Correctional Office, correctional officials, Shin Jung-ki, chairman of the Correctional Federation, and Kim Hak-sul, chairman of the Central Council of Correctional Officers.

Chairman Shin Jung-ki said in his address, “It is said that the stars, rainbows, and people's hearts are the most precious things we cannot have. I hope that you will become valuable correctional activists who cannot have stars and rainbows, but become a ray of light for the inmates.”

He added, “Through continuous communication and sharing among the members, we will strive to operate and activate the Correctional Federation in a more solid manner so that we can make a leap forward.”

Delivering encouraging speech, Kim Dong-hyun, the head of the Daegu Regional Correctional Office, said, “I hope that through the executive meeting, the members' correctional edification activities will be further activated and that it will be a meaningful place to promote friendship among the members.”
