Taipei - Taiwan's former president Chen Shui-bian was remanded into custody Wednesday after his arrest on graft allegations, becoming the first former president to be detained in Taiwan's history.
He is now known as 2630, a number he would be referred to so long as he is kept at the Taipei Penitentiary.
Like what other Taiwanese detainees have encountered, he was made to strip and given a thorough bodily search before putting on clothes for detainees, a penitentiary spokesman said.
