Article 2 and Article 3 Protection of All Rights to Equality 11. The legislative intent of National Pension Insurance aims to ensure the economic security of the disadvantaged in old age. Notwithstanding, statistics gathered by the Bureau of Labor Insurance show that up to 25,681 prisoners may be affected upon expiration of the 10-year grace period for payment of their overdue premiums (namely on January 31, 2019). As it is impossible for prison inmates to pay the National Pension Insurance premium, they may become ineligible for enrollment in the insurance program after missing out on the 10-year grace period for payment of overdue premiums. Clearly, this is counter to the principles of impartiality. Upon investigation and subsequent follow-up by the Control Yuan, the Agency of Corrections of the Ministry of Justice (hereinafter referred to as “Agency of Corrections”) on May 23, 2018 amended the Directions Governing Disbursements of Non-Discretionary Labor Compensation for Prisoners to allow prisoners to pay the National Pension Insurance premium with their income from their labor done while in prison. On September 3, 2019, the Bureau of Labor Insurance enacted the Standard Operating Procedure for Payment of Premiums Overdue for More than Ten Years Requested by the Insured for National Pension Insurance to broaden the definition of causes “not attributable to” the insured. Therefore, any prisoner who fails to pay the National Pension Insurance premium within the 10-year grace period because they are in jail is still eligible to apply for payment of the overdue premium with the Bureau of Labor Insurance if it is done promptly after their being released from prison. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health and Welfare and Agency of Corrections shall communicate this information to all prisoners. 12. Under the work-outside camp prison system (low security environment, usually working on farms, family visits allowed) implemented by the Ministry of Justice, the quota for the maximum number of male inmates allowed assignment to these camps has increased, while the number of female inmates in the work-outsidecamps has remained unchanged. As a result, the percentage of male inmates in work-outside camps as part of that in general prisons has remained constant at 3%, while the same percentage for female inmates declined from 2% to 1.9%. The failure of the Ministry of Justice and Agency of Corrections to adjust the number of female inmates in these camps has created inequality between the two sexes in the opportunity for serving their sentence in such low-security camps. Upon investigation and subsequent follow-up by the Control Yuan, the Agency of Corrections has established a female work-outside camp under Yilan Prison, and authorized the transfer of 50 inmates thereto on September 1, 2019. 13. Through the two amendments made to the Prison Camp Act in 1978 and 2014, the “gap” between the sentence mitigation applicable to the same grade of prisoner in work-outside camps and general prisons has widened.
