Klong Prem Prison move to be studied
A joint committee of the Justice and Finance ministries and the Office of the Judiciary has been set up to come up with a plan within 15 days to move Bangkok's Klong Prem Central Prison outside the city.
The prison’s current location in Chutuchak district will be expropriated by the Finance Ministry, Corrections Department chief Suchart Wong-anantachai said Tuesday.
The Finance Ministry’s expropriation plan also covers other prisons, including Bang Kwang and Lat Yao, according to a 2004 Cabinet resolution that called for inner-city prisons to move to suburban areas.
