PPT concentrates on lese majeste and political prisoners and we have seldom seen much public discussion of the judicial system and prisons outside academic works. The Bangkok Post has an article that does shine some light on the problems facing the judicial system. Of that number, 211,138 are convicted prisoners.” In other words, 85,000 are detained awaiting trial, despite constitutional articles that extend the right of bail and presumption of innocence. In fact, the article demonstrates the problems holding back justice in Thailand, stating:Today, royal-backed programmes are at the centre of Thailand’s corrections approach. Royal projects in prisons are a reflection of the broader problems of a bureaucracy that must deal with royal performance and propaganda before dealing with the problems faced by prisoners.
