Since its inception in 2011, the Thailand Institute of Justice (TIJ) has paid attention to the different demands and complex backgrounds of female prisoners. Years later, TIJ initiated a street food programme to support stigmatised former inmates to get a job and it has been a devout promoter of people-centred justice in action. In a society where some feel the justice system doesn’t serve them, the concept that ‘justice needs surveys’ is needed more than ever.
The TIJ-UNODC Public Forum: People-centred justice solutions brings forward collaborative policy recommendations and actions in response to the justice problems and difficulties faced by the people in Thailand.
Thailand’s prison overcrowding is one of the most severe problems deteriorating its justice system and prisoners’ wellbeing. Meanwhile, the emergence of Covid-19 in Thailand and worldwide reverberates the concerns and sparks the need for the country’s justice system that should be less dependent on detention and imprisonment and must seek a sustainable and optional solution.
