It provides better living conditions compared to the Triều Dương prison, with prisoners being provided wooden beds with warm bedding and spacious exercise areas for physical fitness training. Prisoners also engage in activities such as cultivating vegetables and working in clothing factories for garment processing.
Kris Wu was arrested at the end of July 2021 and was accused of coercing women into having sexual relationships.

Furthermore, he has been fined 83.7 million USD by the Beijing Taxation Bureau.
