In the climax of the anti-corruption and anti-triad operations, those involved in the cases are facing detention, and the outside world cannot help but wonder how these "prisoners" are living behind bars. In the case of Li Tie and Chen Xuyuan, senior officials of the Football Association, for example, it is rumored that their living conditions in the detention center in Hubei are actually quite good.
According to informed journalists, these officials are housed in small single rooms measuring only a few square meters, where they go about their daily lives. They have no personal bathrooms, no means of communication and no recreational equipment, and can only pass the time by reading newspapers and books.
The cells are illuminated 24 hours a day, even at night, and are patrolled by specialized monitors. As for food, meals are delivered to ensure that they are well-balanced and of the right flavor. However, the spectre of scrutiny always looms over them, and they are questioned from time to time by the scrutineers.
Li Tie has resided in prison for more than four months, the longest stay of all those investigated, while Chen Xuyuan has also spent nearly two months in detention. With the key suspects being arrested one after another, it seems difficult for them to escape the end of their jail sentences.
