Pay-to-stay prison block ‘to mitigate jail overcrowding
Kim Sarom
03 October 2018
The first such facility, built at Phnom Penh’s Prey Sar prison as a model, is set to open early next year. A joint venture between the government and a Cambodian-owned company, the three-storey block would be a far cry from typical prison cells, where scores often share a single latrine."
"“The facility will be managed under the same standards. There will be no air conditioners and no mattresses. Prisoners can pay for bigger space [in the cell]."
“They will have fans like in normal public prisons. Whatever normal prisons have, the new prison block will have the same. This is not a hotel-prison,” he said."
"In 2016, there were around 22,000 inmates, with 7,500 in pre-trial detention. A report released by GDP in February showed that the prison population had ballooned by some 30 per cent last year to 28,414, with more than 10,000 locked up in pre-trial detention."
