Thailand’s department of corrections is planning to inoculate all inmates nationwide, beginning with people at high-risk, such as those over 60, those with a high BMI and those with congenital diseases. The campaign is expected to begin in June, after the new lot of vaccines arrive.

 

A number of the correction department officials, who have to be in contact with inmates, such as to take them to and from court, have already been vaccinated.

 

The deputy director-general at the department of corrections, Weerakit Harnpripan, said that the inoculation campaign is a part of the plan which the department’s director-general proposed to the justice minister. The proposal also includes the conducting of rapid COVID-19 tests, which can produce results within 20 minutes, as soon as a new prisoner leaves the court, but before entering the system.

Time for them to parole folks to the outside world so they can save money.  Wonder what the cost for a foreign prisoner will be....

Just before expats.

"...beginning with people at high-risk..."

 

I would think that being in a crowded Bangkok prison, with horrendous  sanitary conditions would be "high-risk" enough.

Really...putting criminals before other members of the community?

How can you have a high BMI in prison, on fish head soup and moldy rice?

Quite right too.  There is no way that they can take actions to protect themselves from exposure, we can.

Expats are just one missed 90 day report away from becoming criminals.

 

Potential criminals rank lower on the vaccine food chain than true hardened criminals...
