The Justice Ministry will change regulations to make it possible for suspects to avoid jail without pleading guilty to charges of electronic ankle monitoring ( EM) bracelets.
The aim of the walk is to reduce chronic congestion in the country’s prison.
According to Justice Minister Pol Col Tawee Sodsong, the government’s prison have a maximum potential of 180, 000 residents. Nevertheless, more than 280, 000 people are currently being detained in Thai prison, with about 50, 000 of them awaiting trial.
According to Pol Col Tawee, the government is working on changing Segment 89-1 of a governmental regulation so that the court can make up its mind in some cases. Home incarceration with EM jewelry is one of the alternatives.
The Justice Minister added that those who are permitted to remain at home may include a better chance of preparing their lawsuits. He claimed that the government anticipates finalizing the investigation at the end of the time.
