Inmate helps fellow prisoner escape

KAMPHAENG PHET – A prison inmate helped distract police while another prisoner escaped to care for his four-month-old baby on Monday.

Police named the two prisoners only as Chaiyawat, 36, and Jirawat, 45.

Pol Sen Sgt Major Pathom Pilpan said the two men attacked him when he was taking them from their cell to the courtroom. He was repeatedly struck with wooden walking sticks that had been issued to Chaiyawat, who had a leg injury.

    There is a serious deficit of attention to welfare somewhere here. In compassionate regimes, detention of the mother would have been deferred, or temporary parole granted to the husband. This is a matter of humanity, not being lenient on crime.
