What makes you think my position is privileged, I suspect many just like me have no desire to end up on the wrong side of a cell door and as such avoid breaking any laws that could result in that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Last year each female inmate got 12 sanitary pads, 10 times less than the 120. The worst enemy of Thailand is their own people. The worst enemy to Thai citizen is .... another Thai citizen! It takes no rocket science to work out, how many pads or tampons a woman uses every month, if you can fish in statistical data of 44'000 inmate females - just ask them to start with. Then provide the sanitary equipment rather than money and hope for the best. There will be still some warden stealing pads and tampons and sell them off through the Pop and Mum shop around the corner - most likely ....... go figure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prison isn’t just about punishment - it’s also about reform. It’s kinda hard to reform someone when you dehumanize them. Really, according to a quick Google search, this is what I came up with, copy and pasted below. "In 2015, the recidivism rate of Thai prisoners was 17 percent. In 2016 that rate rose to 25 percent and 33 percent in 2017. Most were imprisoned more than once for drug-related crimes". I suppose some reform, others don't, could it be the conditions are too good ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously some official corruption going on, if a prison gets a budget for providing pads, and only delivers a fraction of them, guess where the money goes? Then men should receive free razor blades as well (obviously not while in prison) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunFred Posted November 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thais do not even want to FEED inmates. I am ashamed that some farangs support this kind of prison system. Don't give me any foolishness about "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime". Most countries understand humane prison concepts, but not Thailand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWRC Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 In the days before "pads" a piece of material was used, folded to suit, after use it was washed and when dry ready for reuse. None of this takes away from the fact that the "pads" should be readily available in Prison, I am just trying to say there is no need for un-hygenic conditions. How we have all been spoiled over the years and how quickly we have become reliant on new things. It reminds me of a desperate message on a group site, a guy pleading for toilet rolls, he was of an age to also remember cutting up the newspaper into squares and threading it onto string or wire. How could anyone that age complain, we now have phone books, more paper and a much better quality. slightly off topic, it's the same principle though.

I don't know about Thailand but can tell you for sure that one doesn't have to break the law to end up in jail in America. I very strongly suspect that's true here too.

overt2016 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thai prisons have come into the news recently for the lack of humanity provided to inmates. Don't come at me with lines like "do the crime etc BS. It is irrelevant. The loss of freedom and being unable to decide when to sleep, eat, ETC. Is decided by others is punishment. We have heard recently about food issues and the question of the budget provided whether it is sufficient or skimmed. No common person expects or wants prisons to be homes away from homes, but things like in this instance [lack of sanitary pads] is degrading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a form of rehabilitation. Cruel remarks probably made by men who like to dehumanise and dominate women often the reason why European and American men go to Thailand because they can behave in ways that would not be tolerated by women in their own country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
