On 20th April 2023, the Department of Corrections hosted a ceremony to transfer a French inmate at Klong Prem Central Prison. On this occasion, Mr. Somboon Sila, Director of the Prison, and Mr. Christophe Hemmings, Consul, Embassy of France, are the official representatives in surrendering the prisoner and returning him to serve his remaining sentence in France. Up to present, there are 56 French inmates being transferred back to the country. This is the third transfer ceremony of 2023 and in accordance with the Treaty between the Kingdom of Thailand and the French Republic on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons and on Co-operation in the Enforcement of Penal Sentences. We trust that serving sentence in the homeland could facilitate family visits, increase the ability to life adjustment and better rehabilitation.
