During the Joseon Dynasty, Prison was divided into round walls and buildings that separated men and women. The wall is estimated to be about 3 meters high and 1.1 meters thick. The wall foundation was strengthened with large stones so that prisoners could not escape by digging. Outside the fence, moats were built and filled with water to prepare for prisoner’s escape. The men's prison building was large, and the women’s building was small but tile-roofed structure that not allowed to escape through the roof. In front of the circular fence, traces of offices and rooms where the Prison officials worked were found in the excavation of the remains. The roof of this building was made by connecting thatched houses, and access to the prison was only possible through this structure. In 1426, King Sejong distributed this Prison plan nationwide to manage prisoners. During the Joseon Dynasty, many records have been confirmed that kings tried to legally protect sinners and their lives.
