Minister of Thailand: the importance of vaccines are vital to stop corona spread between prisoners

Attorney General Somsak Tepsutin said on Monday that the best way to stop the spread of Covid-19 in prisons is to quickly vaccinate prisoners in facilities with zero infections. The Ministry of Justice has asked the Minister of Health Anutin Chanvirakul to prescribe a vaccine for inmates who have not contracted Covid in prisons to prevent them from contracting the disease. He said that Anudin will explain the details to the public. When the prison is overcrowded, they will not question the daily reports of inmates contracting the coronavirus. When he took office as Minister of Justice, there were approximately 390,000 inmates in prisons across the country. To a certain extent, but the prison is still overcrowded, and this problem is difficult to solve. According to international standards, each prisoner should have 2.25 square meters of sleeping space, but in reality each person only has 1.2 square meters.
