What Life Is Reportedly Like For Kris Wu At The Detention Centre While He Awaits Trial For Rape Charges

According to the lawyer’s observations, inmates are expected to memorise a notice on the detention centre’s rules and regulations within the first three days, after which there will be random spot checks.

If an inmate fails to recite everything by heart, he will be punished by being assigned to do more unpleasant work such as cleaning the toilets. If he passes, he can do ‘easier’ tasks like mopping the floors and folding towels.

Netizens pointed out that Kris once admitted on a variety show that he doesn’t exactly have the best memory and has trouble remembering his lines, making them wonder how many times he will have to clean the toilet.

While meals are provided, inmates are also able to buy snacks and other items with their own money, which is stored in an account that can keep up to 2,000 yuan (about S$420). This 2,000 yuan can usually last about three to four months.

One netizen published a list of the food the inmates eat every day, which has steamed buns as the staple dish.

For breakfast, there is congee and salted vegetables, with soya milk only available on Thursdays. For lunch, they get vegetables, eggs, and beef, while dinner consists of cabbage with scrambled eggs, meatballs, or tofu.

Someone also shared a picture of the inmates’ daily itinerary.

They get up at 5.30am, followed by roll call and then breakfast at 6.30am. They will then embark on their first of six periods of “introspection”, which last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on the time of the day.

Other activities include classes on “legal knowledge and traditional culture”, watching the evening news, and some leisure time on Sundays. Bedtime is at 9pm.

Due to the pandemic, Kris’ family is only allowed to visit him for half an hour once a month.

As for his expected jail term, the lawyer said, “It’s impossible to make an accurate prediction, but based on past experiences, Kris Wu’s sentence will probably be no less than five years.”

Even after Kris is released from prison, there is a possibility of him being deported back to Canada, which means his career in China is pretty much over for good.
