New research has discovered Thai prisons to be detaining more than double their holding capacity in prisoners. The building’s cramped conditions are only set to get worse, providing an issue that the Corrections Department are going to have to think long and hard about.


Danthong Breen, chairman of the UCL, has claimed some 224,300 inmates are currently serving a sentence in 143 prisons across the country which between them, have a total capacity of merely 105,748.



“The level of crowding (in the prisons) is inhuman and inhumane,” he continued. “The horror is the widespread use of shackles. These are welded on to the ankles of long-term prisoners and are not removed, even during illness, until the sentence is served.”
