well, they have taken all the prisoners away to the country, to the mens' prison in Mae Rim (the men have been moved to a new facility) and now the old buildings are throbbing with life and schoolkids
there used to be over 2300 inmates squashed in
I think there is a big Royal or minister coming too, to open the new venture, as roads are closed and police everywhere
but nobody is sure what the plan for the place is
anyone know?
Prisoners on the Move in Chiang Mai
Pics please.
^ I cycled past it today and thought about it
Sorry I thought this was another build thread :)
^No shortage of renters...
^ hilarious
According to the BKK Post its going to be a religious park.
Never saw a bit of this driving down Narawat Bridge Road or Toon Hotel Rd today. Traffic is lighter in fact as it's Sunday.
Is this the same women's prison where you could go for massage?
Religious park?Quote:

“There have been many protests from people who are concerned about the ancient remains under the prison,” said Niwat, referring to the ancient remains of Kum Wiang Kaew, the ex-Lanna King’s Palace, under the prison."Quote:

Inside Chaing Mai Women's Prison
thanks, saved me a little trouble
but there was no pic of the big cells with the sleeping platforms, the only thing I found interesting
must take one before they get demolished

Didn't realise anyone can just wander in for a nose around.
Bladdy hell, dont think I'd fancy getting a rub down by Thailand's version of the Boston StranglerQuote:

they must have had about 30+ up top, and another 30 or more below; there is a separate cell at the end for some reason, altough it shares the facilities

one of the sleeping cells, they must have crammed over 200 in at night

and the washing and toilet facilities

this was almost an art installation, I wish they would save it
the row of personal lockers

each one has a different feel and pics from magazines; some were just lined with plain white paper

quite amazing and also sad
How interesting, thanks for the pics Doc.
They should keep part of it as a museum.
I talked to one of the guys sitting around pretending to be a guard today
looks like they are going to demolish the whole shaboodle and build a mock up of the palace that used to be there, in the old days
a new tourist must-see
a ridiculous idea but I am sure the Chinese groups will love it
If I had somewhere to put those lockers, I could make a great tourist site, and it is all original art
Wonder if they demolished the solitary confinement cells first.
Or perhaps those lockers are them.
very interesting photos doc
thanks Earl
it was closed today, maybe that was it
they were mainly open to show schoolkids what could happen to them if they were naughty, and to have a big monk ceremony to get rid of all the ghosts of dead prisoners (quite a few, by all accounts)
I don't have any pics but if you go to xHamster and do a search for Japanese Women's Prison there are some fascinating insights into what goes on in these establishments.Quote:

Yes I have seen several documentaries on the inhumane conditions in those institutions. However my long time ambition to go and work at one as a reformist has been stymied by a lack of Japanese language skills.Quote:

Amazing how you can just wander in. I think if they knew pictures of the place were up on the net they would close it.
why? it was full of schoolkids when we went, both times
and it is closed for now
