Standards of Thai prisons to be upgraded

The Director-General of the Department of Corrections, Mr. Natthee Jitsawang
(????? ????????), said his department has set 10 criterions for prisons,
while 30 out of 139 prisons nationwide have passed the criterions. Next
year, the standards will be raised so the prisons in Thailand can match
other prisons in foreign countries.

Mr. Natthee said some of the criterions include the living environment and
treatment of inmates as well as transparency issues. Qualified prisons will
receive certificates. More than 80 prisons have passed the transparency
criterions, while 92 prisons have satisfactory living environment. The
welfares of officers in 66 prisons have met the criteria.


The Corrections Department Director-General said the officials are
considering whether or not the rice for inmates will be changed to white
rice.
