No reprieve for death row cam Published on January 20, 2005
The Corrections Department has cancelled a plan to broadcast on its website the lives of death-row inmates up until the moment before their executions, director-general Nathee Chitsawang said yesterday.
The department decided to scrap the broadcasts, initially slated to begin on February 25, after objections from many quarters that they would violate inmates’ rights, Nathee said in a press release posted on the website.
“However, the installation of closed-circuit TV cameras inside the prisons will proceed in order to establish a transparent working system,” he said.
The system will be installed in five prisons: Bang Khen Central Women’s Prison, Klong Prem Central Prison, Bangkok Special Prison, the Central Correctional Institution and Bang Kwang Central Prison.
