Is Chen Shui-bian , the former President of the R.O.C. , The most important person for you ?
Please! remind yourself as a lawmaker for the R.OC.
Put aside your personal politic ! How can you do for the people of Taiwan ? God bless with you !
Chen Chin-feng, deputy warden of Taichung Prison, said the former president was taken to the prison's Pei Teh Hospital at 7:20am from Taipei Veterans General Hospital, where he had been receiving treatment since last September for multiple health problems.
Chen walked into the facility unaided and was cooperative, remaining calm and quiet, said the deputy warden. The 62-year-old former president is serving a 20-year sentence for corruption during his two terms in office from 2000 to 2008.
Three nurses have been assigned to provide round-the-clock care for Chen in a special convalescence area that covers 800 square meters, said the official.
Chen's room in the prison hospital totals 30 square meters, compared with his cell of 4.56 square meters at Taipei Prison, where he served his sentence before being admitted to hospital seven months ago.
In Taipei, the Ministry of Justice said that the arrangements made especially for Chen, including an unlimited number of visits by family members, is "treatment that other inmates cannot possibly get and a first in our prison history."
Family and allies of the former president, however, reacted angrily to what they called "an early-morning secret transfer" and the government's refusal to allow Chen to convalesce at home.
After visiting his father, Chen Chih-chung, the president's son, accused the Ministry of Justice of going against medical advice.
Chou Yuan-hua, Chen's attending physician at the Taipei hospital, said earlier this month that the former president would present a suicide risk if he were to be discharged and returned to Taipei Prison.
Chen should be allowed to convalesce at home or be moved to a hospital closer to home where he could benefit from family support, Chou said. Chen's wife and son now live in the southern city of Kaohsiung, about 190 km from Taichung and 356 km from Taipei.
The justice ministry said Friday, however, that Taiwan's laws do not provide for home-based convalescence for convicts.
The ministry called a press conference to brief reporters on the transfer, which was first reported by the United Daily News.
In addition to members of the press, some angry legislators belonging to the former president's opposition Democratic Progressive Party showed up to protest the move.
Chiu Yi-ying, a female legislator representing southern Pingtung county, along with some others, kicked in the door of Justice Minister Tseng Yung-Fu's office and barged in, surrounded the minister and demanded answers.
Also that day, Chen's doctor said the prison hospital in Taichung is a compromise between home-based convalescence and Taipei Prison.
His condition has been improving steadily and he should therefore be admitted to a hospital for treating chronic diseases, said Chou, who works in the Taipei Veterans General Hospital's psychiatric department.
It will probably take Chen two or three weeks to adjust to the new environment, said Chou, describing this period as "crucial."
Answering reporters' questions, Chou said he had not been notified of the transfer in advance, although it was something he had expected. He added that he respected the ministry's decision.
At the ministry's press conference, Vice Justice Minister Chen Ming-tang said the former president's condition does not warrant medical parole and that sending him to Taichung Prison's Pei Teh Hospital will ensure that he receives proper medical attention.
The arrangement was made in consideration of Chen's status as a prison inmate, patient and former president, the vice minister added.
After his admission to Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Chen was diagnosed with severe depression, severe sleep apnea, non-typical Parkinson's disease, a stutter and mild cerebral atrophy.
Lin Fang-yu, head of the hospital, said early this month that Chen's acute diseases had largely been treated at the hospital, but that the chronic depression and psychological problems remained.
The justice ministry said that Chen's condition can be treated while serving his prison term and does not qualify him for medical parole.
There is no precedent of an inmate with a mental disease being granted medical parole, the ministry added.
According to data provided by the ministry, there were 445 prison inmates with depression as of the end of March, 150 of whom were being treated at Pei Teh Hospital.
