Corrections Department fires 14 wardens for serious misconducts 

 

 

The Corrections Department has fired 14 wardens after finding them guilty of serious misconducts, ranging from taking bribes from inmates and assisting them to break the rules.

 

Of the 14 dismissed from civil servant services, one will be still entitled for pension payment same as normal retiree, while the others won’t be paid.

 

The decision to dismiss the 14 prison wardens was reached at the meeting of the department’s civil service sub-commission and was revealed to the public by department chief Pol Col Narat Sawetanan today (Dec 1).

Their misconducts include:

• Absence from official duty for over 15 days.
• Taking bribes from prisoners over seizure of mobile phones in prisons.
• Taking bribes from prisoners to operate gambling in the prison.
• Embezzlement of prison earnings of more than 600,000 baht.
• Allowing amulet trading in prisons.
• Allowing male prisoners to have sex with female prisoners in female detention zone.
• Involving in the smuggling drugs and mobile phones into the prison.
• Demanding money from prisoners’ relatives to facilitate their visit.
• Implicating in corruption of salary and allowance payments worth almost 5 million baht.
• Buying alcohol beverages for prisoners in exchange with 2,000 baht money.

Department chief Pol Col Narat Sawettanan said the heavy punitive action was handed down to serve as a reminder for other wardens that the wrongdoers would be drastically dealt with.

 

'Heavy punitive action'  . . . who's he trying to kid? He could hardly do any less than sack the bastards. Just look at those offences . . . the prison had become a brothel-cum-casino-cum-bar-cum general free-for-all - an utter disgrace, for which the all-powerful Department chief Pol Col Narat Sawettanan should be sacked . . . it was all happening on his watch. Like the rest of the Police department, 'CORRECTIONS' is heading for the basement. 

 

With no top leadership worthy of respect, this whole country is going to the dogs. And, the scary thing is that, until the Junta makes way for respected leadership, things will get worse, across the whole board. Police, Education, Finance, Tourism, Agriculture . . . they will all get worse. With the 2-P's at the helm, who's to show them any better?

No mention of them having to do time behind bars themselves,

criminal activities,why no charges.

Where do you think all the drugs, cell phones and other contraband

stuff coming from if not when the guards turning a blind eye

for the right payola? having said that, corrupt Thai prison guard

can be found in any and every jail and prisons through out the world...

The criminals are running the prisons. Can't believe none of them are being charged over that comprehensive list of misdeeds. I bet many of the inmates are in there for less.

Overly negative comments.

You really think the former elected governments did do anything about the state of affairs?

Oh yes, they did, making it worse.

Because Thailand wants to keep it's reputation intact..  Heading to No 1 or is it No 1 already in Asia for corruption compared to world standards?  By the way no news on Red Bull boss for months?

 

The three monkeys live in Thailand" See no evil,Speak no evil, Hear no evil".  Should be a written in Thai law publicly in the constitution or added to the present Article Junta Item 44 subsection(a)  for those in power or have lots of money! Forgot about the jet setting Buddha and Yingluck. Interpol alert Blue which means the rest of the world could not be bothered if issued at all because they know nothing will occur to attempt an arrest for any of these cronies. The worst that will happen is be sent to "Inactive Duties!

[1duckyboy]

Aren't some of those activities (smuggling into prison, human trafficing for sex, etc) illegal? All they got was being discharged, what about restitution of stolen funds?  Plus the head of the snake is still intact.
