Advertisement Thailand is considering offering early parole and provisional releases for thousands of inmates, as COVID-19 continues to scythe its way through the country’s overcrowded prison system. On Monday, Justice Minister Somsak Thepsutin told reporters that the inmate population was well over capacity and that a plan to reduce the pressure is currently being developed. The Justice Ministry is also working to amend drug laws in order to adjust the penalties for drug offenders, which Somsak said could result in reduced sentences for some 50,000 inmates once enacted. After escaping from 2020 mostly untouched by the coronavirus, Thailand is battling its third and most serious wave of COVID-19
