On Friday Afternoon at the Pattaya Remand Prison, located in Nong Pla Lai, the Prison Warden was made aware of a woman who was caught attempting to pass narcotics to a prisoner through a hole in a window. Khun Napiporn aged 36 was visiting Khun Somshai aged 40 who was in prison on drug dealing charges. The woman was caught passing over 5 Yabba Tablets and 3 packets of Crystal Methamphetamine to the prisoner and was detained. Banglamung Police were informed and the woman was sent to the Police Station where she was charged in relation to the incident. The Prison Warden told us that they are constantly on the lookout for such transactions and realize that prisoners who possess narcotics can easily sell them onto inmates. They also appreciate the problem they have with drug distribution at the Pattaya Remand Prison and are constantly on the lookout for such illegal activity.

'....They also appreciate the problem they have with drug distribution at the Pattaya Remand Prison and are constantly on the lookout for such illegal activity.'

what does it mean?

is this another one of those translated by google super charged supertranslation mechenism.... LOL

if this were in the western environ, the warden would probably be demoted for even allowing visitors with narcotics possession to approach the visitation area....

visitors should already be screened and all belongings were left in lockers provided, before allowed to approach the visitation screened off location....

thailand would only need to look to its neighbor hongkong for an excellent example of visitation practices....

at any rate, thanks for posting it.... at least now we know.... just how bad the current system is....

perhaps, it would be better to state it another way.... just how demoralizing and dehumanizing the prison system is.... under the current prison administration....

less than ten kilo away, there is also a real prison around.... one day, i would venture in there and visit.... what is it really like for our thai inmates, male and female, alike....? i just dare not make that move.... i fear that my heart may bleed.... then i might want to get involved.... and then i might step on some big toes and might infuriate some super charged gate keepers to my detriment.... LOL yes.... i will, i will visit that prison one day.... in the near future.... amen
