that probation, psycho-medical treatment, drug rehabilitation programs would be better options as compared to imprisonment. Thailand is currently shifting from an only suppression approach into suppression and psycho-social approach in the prevention of drugs. It would take about two or three years before the result of the new approach can be seen. III.Ms. Pornpen Khongkachonkiet, Cross Cultural Foundation, Thailand raised a question about the current condition of prison officers in terms of health, socialwelfare, and well-being. a) Is there any specific program targeting prison officers to assist them in executing their tasks? In addressing the question, Dato’ Haji Nordin stated that the reforms of prisons in Malaysia is crucial to address issues such as abuse in custody. The employment of artificial intelligence such as surveillance cameras and body cameras on prison staffs will be helpful to control abuse in custody as well as to protect prison staffs at work. While death in custody is another major issue in the prison, the health status of prisoners remains a challenge for the prison. The health service in prisons should be transferred to relevant agencies to ensure the quality of health care management of prisoners. The Department of Prison, Malaysia proposes the management of prisoner’s health care to be transferred to the Ministry of Health to address the lack of resources, proper facilities, and equipment. Attorney Julie stated that in the history of BUCOR, prison officers in the Philippines prior to 2013 were not professionally trained to handle prisoners. The Republic Act 575 which was passed by the congress in 2013 professionalised the officers in BUCOR. They must be trained for six months and qualified in a training institution before executing their tasks. In terms of health, BUCOR staffs like other government servants are covered by insurance. Mr. Sigit responded that Indonesia has about 50,000 prison officers. Regarding the trainings, the Human Rights Development Agency, Ministry of Law and Human Rights is responsible in the capacity building of prison staffs. The Directorate General of Correction, Indonesia provides the data of prison officers and lists trainings needed by the officers. The data will be sent to the Human Rights Development Agency for consideration and processing. Since 2019, the Directorate General of Correction provides technical guidance to the newly established Corporate University and in-house trainings for prison staffs. Regarding the welfare of prison staffs, there are salary and remuneration. The salary of the staff remains the same, but remuneration will increase based on their performance. 21
