Women's correctional institute making more masks to meet demand

The correctional institute produced 500 masks per day, but has now increased this to 1,000. The price of the masks ranges from Bt15 to Bt25, depending on the design and quality.

Director Nichakamol Trairatkum said the institution normally produces and sells the masks to government agencies, but recently began making the masks for the general people.

“Mask production improves prisoners’ skills and generates money for them before they can leave the institution” she said.
