he will get life but probably nothing to dow ith other prisoners to keep him safe and a good life as he has money enough.

There's no provision or facilities for preferential segregation in Thai prisons, regardless of affluence.   There are punishment solitary cells but no prisoner would ever request to be confined in the conditions of one of those, even if they had that choice.

Thailand =    the land of thieves and cheats ....   Lol

Any particular condiments you'd like to accompany those words when they're served up for you to eat in six months?

The victim of this senseless, fatal violence was another victim of the war on drugs - an American  aberration.  The war on drugs is a war on the people.

The inmates of the prison will have a lot of fun with those 7 police agents...????

[jacko45k]

Well, here we have an example of justice being served in Thailand, and against those we usually expect to be Teflon coated. Fair dos... 

That might put fear into similar sadists in positions of power! 

A special nod to the guy who released the video clip...but for him, they would still be killing without retribution..... I wonder who suffered at their hands in the past!

If they are not released on bail (they will then flee Thailand) their names will be on the very next pardon list.  If they do go to prison they will spend less then three years inside.  Flag this post for future reference.

They are in prison and have been since their arrests and they have not been released on bail.

 

Can't understand why anyone would want that comment "flagged", some kind of masochism or love of embarrassment, perhaps?

The only sentence in the US that acyually means prison until death is "life without parole".   Prisoners serving "life sentences" can apply for parole after a few years, 7 years in California.

Quite so, I was generalizing, I'm sure each state has its own laws on this. But life without parole does actually mean what it says in the USA. In Thailand it could mean anything?

Great news!

Will they get any actual time? Released for the retrial in a few years! 

They've just been given actual time, and they're all in prison. 

 

"Retrial in a few years"?  What?  When has that ever happened?

A short boat ride from Ranong to neighboring country where money talks, passport issued, then off to spend is life like a former PM.

Or perhaps via a certain country to the east.

He's locked up in Klong Prem!

Wasn't the sentencing done via video link? Extra cautious?

Life sentences in Thailand mean life and  do not allow for the prospect of parole.

I believe in "normal" prisons all over the world nobody want to be in a solitary cell, but in Thailand they probably have special cells for these kind of prisoners, as the inmates will show no mercy on police officers like these .... and in Thailand everything is possible if you have money.. Don't think they are in the normal cells between the other criminals

An off topic post has been removed as prison sentences in New Zealand is irrelevant to this topic.

In Thailand what exactly does "Life"in prison mean?

In the UK its usually 25 years, but could be paroled for good behavior?

In the USA its more like 99 years, so it actually means life?

My ex-wife was sentenced to life for a serious yaba conviction

confess and it's reduced to 25 years.

Every King's pardon will get you 20% off of your remaining time

Being a model prisoner will get additional time reduction

In total her Life conviction resulted in her serving 9 years behind bars, and she has been released with some supervision restrictions. Has to stay at her residence of record, report to the local police. No international travel (Thank god). Don't know how long these are in place for, and don't care. That's why she's an ex.

Don't know if the nature of the crime goes into the calculation, or of course being rich and famous like Joe Ferrari

No, they don't.  All prisoners in their prison  are confined in 20-30 person rooms after the nightly lockup.   Thai prisons are not known for retaliatory violence towards other inmates.

 

"Don't think they are in the normal cells between the other criminals"

Obviously you have not spent any time in a Thai prison and cannot, therefore, know anything about them, in particular, the prison they are in.   

 

At 6am prisoners are removed from their accommodation (which is all multiple person accommodation) and all prisoners mix freely in the yards or the work facilities.   There are no special cells, except solitary punishment cells, and, in the late afternoons, they are all returned to those 20-30 person locked quarters for the night, regardless of their offences.

He is not a fugitive and at the time of that comment he was not a fugitive, he was not on bail, he was being held in Klong Prem prison.

He is a fugutive, and for the rest, it was expected he would be released and that was the case just days later. So end of the story = your wrong again.

No, that's not "the end of the story", Joe Ferrari is not a fugitive, he is in prison serving the sentence that, he has stated, he will not appeal.
